You have been asked to dilute and repackage 1 Liter of a 20% solution into 1 pint bottles of 5% solution. How many bottles will you be able to fill?
Can you explain how I start? I don't understand.
reply: (Keith) This question is very similar to the one shown
on this page. The easiest way to do these is using the Algebra shortcut:
(C1)(V1) = (C2)(V2)
(.20)(1000ml) = (.05)(X)
200 = .05X
___ ____
.05 .05
4000 = X
4000ML ÷ 480Ml (1 pint) = 8.33
So, you could fill
