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 the slope of the line below (15)(-1-1)?
If you mean points of (1, 5) and (-1, -1) then the slope works out as 3
What is the slope of (52) and (13)?
If you mean points of (5, 2) and (1, 3) then the slope works out as -1/4
Which of the following is an equation of a line that passes through the point 0 5 and has a negative slope?
If you mean a slope of -1 then it is: y = -x+5
What is the slope of the line shown below ( 16) (-5-7)?
If you mean points of (1, 6) and (-5, -7) the slope works out as 13/6
