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 geometric mean of 10 and 12?
The geometric mean of 10 and 12 is: 10.9544511501
What is the geometric mean of 10 and 20?
The geometric mean of 10 and 20 is 14.1421356237
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.
What is dilution factor for 10 g of soil in 250 ml of water?
1 in 25. (10/250)
How do you make a 8 fold dilution?
To make an 8-fold dilution, you would mix 1 part of the substance you want to dilute with 7 parts of the diluent (usually water or buffer solution). This results in a total of 8 parts, with 1 part being the original substance and 7 parts being the diluent. This dilution reduces the concentration of the original substance by a factor of 8.
What does 10 to the minus 1 mean?
If you mean 10 to the power of -1 then it is equal to 1/10
What is 10 20 divided by 4 - 5?
Assuming you mean 10/20, (10/20)/(4-5)=0.5/-1=-1/2 Assuming you mean 10.20, 10.2/-1=-10.2 Assuming you mean 10-20, (10-20)/(-1)=(-10)/-1=10
What is the method for pasteurized milk serial dilution?
It is very simple. You just boil the water. Sorry..... you boil the milk. It kills the germs. Well that is an awful answer. What you do is: 1. Using a sample of milk, transfer 1ml into the first sterile water blank. Label this tube 1:10. 2. Mix the tube 3.Using another transfer pipette, transfer 1ml of the 1:10 tube to the next sterile blank tube. Label this tube 1:100. 4.Continue making transfers until 1:100 and 1:10000 dilutions have been made. 5. After all dilution have been completed, transfer ½ ml from the 1:10 dilution and place it on a plate labeled 1:20. 6. Spread the liquid across the surface of the plate with a clean spreading rod. 7. Continue making plates in this fashion from each of the dilution tubes until you have created four plates: 1:20, 1:200, 1:2000, 1:20000. 8. Place the plates to be incubated.
How do you make a 1 to 5 dilution?
To make a 1 to 5 dilution you mix 1 part of your substance with 4 parts water. ie: Mix 1 tablespoon of creamer with 4 tables spoons of coffee, and the coffee is 1/5 creamer now.
How isotope dilution is used to determine blood volumes in living animals?
Isotope dilution is used to determine blood volumes in living animals by predicting their isotope numbers. An example is the radioactive isotopes have a 1/2 life and that would mean it goes down by half each time.
What does 1x PBS mean?
1X PBS might mean 1 in 10 solution 1/10
What is 10 x -1?
11
How do you prepare 1mM edta from 0.1M edta-Na2 solution?
You dilute it 1:10, then you take 1 part of that solution and mix it with 9 parts of the diluent. That will make the 1:100 dilution you need, incl. prevention of pipette inaccuracy.
