Deciliters to Cubic Centimeters Conversion Guide

Conversion Formula

Cubic Centimeters = Deciliters × 100

To convert deciliters to cubic centimeters, multiply the deciliter value by 100.

Quick Reference

  • 0.1 dL = 10 cm³
  • 0.5 dL = 50 cm³
  • 1 dL = 100 cm³
  • 2.5 dL = 250 cm³
  • 5 dL = 500 cm³
