Best Answer

If 3 litres has 10% solution of sugar, the sugar comprises 300ml (i.e. a tenth of 3000). If we want 300ml to be 5% then we need a total of 100/5 * 300 = 6,000ml (6 litres). So we need to add 3 more litres of water.

In other words, to halve the percentage of sugar we need to double the total solution from 3 litres to 6 litres.
