When you are doing dilutions the larger number is always the total final volume. The smaller number is the amount of the solute. The larger number minus the smaller number is the amount of the solvent. So a 1:5 or a 1 IN 5 dilution would be 1 part solute and 4 parts solvent to come to a total volume of 5.
When referencing ratios in mathematics 1:5 means 1 TO 5. The ratio is relative to the two items. For every 1 of the first you have 5 of the second.
It is critical if you are making dilutions to understand the difference as the two explanations are not interchangeable.

What is one-tenth plus one-tenth?
1/10 + 1/10 = 2/10 = 1/5.
What is the geometric mean of 8 and 10?
MEAN = ( 8+10 )/2 = 18/2 =9
What does 10 to 1 dilution mean?
It is a mixture of 1 part of the active ingredient (by volume) to 10 parts of the solvent.
I have to prepare a 1 to 10 dilution and have a 2ml culture suspension and want to prepare a 1 to 10 dilution of the entire culture.?
Add 2 mL of culture to 20 mL of buffer. 2/20 = 1/10
What does 0 percent dilution mean?
Means that there is no dilution.
What is dilution factor for 10 g of soil in 250 ml of water?
1 in 25. (10/250)
What does dilution rate RTU mean?
dilution rate RTU
Definition of dilution and dilution factor?
In chemistry and biology, the dilution factor is the total number of unit volumes in which the material is dissolved. As I understand it, the dilution refers to the dilution ratio. If you add 1 part of something to 4 parts of something else, the dilution ratio is 1 to 4. The dilution factor counts all the parts and expresses the same thing as 1 out of 5.
How to make 10 percentage dilution?
take 1 ml, add 9 ml water.
If 9.8 mL of water is added to 0.2 mL of a drug A what is the dilution ratio?
10
How do you get 0.1M from 1M HCL?
By 10-fold dilution
If 9.8 ml of water is added to 0.2 ml of drug A what is the dilution ratio?
10
How do you make a 8 fold dilution?
An 8-fold dilution means you are making your solution 1/8 less concentrated. So, if you want to make 100 ml of a solution diluted 8 fold you would do as follows: 1/8=.125 100*.125= 12.5 Mix 12.5 mL of your concentrated solution with 87.5 mL of your solvent (water etc..) to bring the final volume to 100 mL. If you wanted to perform a ten fold dilution you would simply mix 10 mL of your concentrated solution with 90 mL of your solvent. 1/10=.1 100*.1=10
How much solution to 1 liter water 110 dilution?
You add 9.09ml of stock solution to a volumetric and make it up to 1 litre to get a 110 dilution
