"8 decilitres"8 decilitres -= 0.8*L0.8L

Explanation:

"1 decilitre"1 decilitre -= 1xx10^-1*L1×101L,

"8 decilitres"8 decilitres -= 8xx10^-1*L8×101L == 0.8*L0.8L.

"deci"deci -= 10^-1101.

Note that 1*dm^-31dm3 == (1xx10^-1m)^3(1×101m)3 == 10^-3*m^3103m3 == 1*L1L, because there are 10^3L*m^-3103Lm3.
