1 ml = 0.01 dl. To convert millilitres to decilitres, divide by 100. Example: 250 ml = 2.5 dl.
| Millilitre (ml) | Decilitre (dl) |
|---|---|
| 50 ml | 0.5 dl |
| 100 ml | 1 dl |
| 150 ml | 1.5 dl |
| 200 ml | 2 dl |
| 250 ml | 2.5 dl |
| 300 ml | 3 dl |
| 400 ml | 4 dl |
| 500 ml | 5 dl |
| 750 ml | 7.5 dl |
| 1000 ml | 10 dl |
To convert millilitres to decilitres, divide by 100. This is a simple metric relationship: 100 ml = 1 dl, 200 ml = 2 dl, 500 ml = 5 dl, 1000 ml = 10 dl.
You will need this conversion when following a Nordic recipe given in dl but working with measuring tools graduated in ml, or vice versa. Many European recipes specify volumes in ml for precision while Nordic recipes prefer dl for readability. Both are equally valid; the choice is cultural convention.
The decilitre does not appear in US customary recipes, which use cups, fluid ounces, and tablespoons. If adapting a Nordic recipe for a US kitchen, convert dl to cups by multiplying by 0.4167 (or dividing by 2.4), or use this converter's dl-to-cups mode.
200 ml equals 2 dl.
250 ml equals 2.5 dl.
1 litre (1000 ml) equals 10 dl.
