Final answer:

To convert 32 milliliters to deciliters, you divide the measurement by 100 and then multiply by 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 32 milliliters to deciliters, you need to divide the measurement by 100. Since there are 10 deciliters in a liter, you can set up the conversion as follows:

32 mL / 100 = x dL / 10

Simplifying the equation, you have:
0.32 = x / 10

To find x, multiply both sides of the equation by 10. The missing part of the equation is 3.2 deciliters.
