Decilitres to Gigalitres conversion

How to convert decilitres to gigalitres?

To convert decilitres (dL) to gigalitres (GL), you need to understand the unit conversions between these measurements.

1 decilitre (dL) is equal to $0.1$ litres (L).

1 gigalitre (GL) is equal to $1 \times 10^9$ litres (L).

To convert from decilitres to gigalitres, you follow this simple conversion:

$1 \text{ dL} = 0.1 \text{ L}$

Now convert litres to gigalitres:

$0.1 \text{ L} \times \left( \frac{1 \text{ GL}}{1 \times 10^9 \text{ L}} \right) = 0.1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ GL}$

Simplify the expression:

$0.1 \times 10^{-9} \text{ GL} = 1 \times 10^{-10} \text{ GL}$

So, 1 decilitre (dL) is equal to $1 \times 10^{-10}$ gigalitres (GL).

Real-World Examples with Decilitres:

10 Decilitres:

$10 \text{ dL}$ Convert to litres: $10 \text{ dL} \times 0.1 \frac{\text{litres}}{\text{dilitres}} = 1 \text{ L}$ Which is $1 \text{ litre}$.

100 Decilitres:

$100 \text{ dL}$ Convert to litres: $100 \text{ dL} \times 0.1 \frac{\text{litres}}{\text{dilitres}} = 10 \text{ L}$ Which is $10 \text{ litres}$.

500 Decilitres:

$500 \text{ dL}$ Convert to litres: $500 \text{ dL} \times 0.1 \frac{\text{litres}}{\text{dilitres}} = 50 \text{ L}$ Which is $50 \text{ litres}$.

1000 Decilitres:

$1000 \text{ dL}$ Convert to litres: $1000 \text{ dL} \times 0.1 \frac{\text{litres}}{\text{dilitres}} = 100 \text{ L}$ Which is $100 \text{ litres}$.

These examples show partial conversions to more common volume measurements. Quantities like 1 litre, 10 litres, 50 litres, and 100 litres are often used for measuring liquids in everyday contexts such as beverages, fuel, or water storage.
