You would need to add water. The amount required is entirely dependent on how much volume you currently have. If the current volume is x then the question can be rewritten as:
10%x/(x+a) = 1%
where a is the amount of water you need to add.
Multiply both sides by x+a and you get
10%x = 1%x + 1%a
Subtract 1%x from both sides and get
9%x = 1%a
Divide by 1% and you get
9x = a
Thus, to make a 1 percent solution from a 10 percent solution, you need to add 9 times the current volume of the solution in water.

How much water must be added to a gallon of 10 percent saline solution to create a 2 percent solution?
There is 1 gallon of 10% solution...There is 0% saline in water...The equation is (0.1)(1) + 0x = 0.02 (x+1)...Answer is: 4 gallons. Hope I helped!!:)
How do you turn 10 percent into a fraction?
To make a fraction from any percent, divide the percent by 100. 10 percent = 10/100 or 1/10 .
How do make 0.1 percent into a fraction?
1/10
How many liters of a 20 percent solution of saline should a nurse mix with 10 liters of a 50 percent solution to obtain a mixture that is 40 percent saline?
Let x = the amount of 20% solution Let x + 10 = the amount of the final solution. So we have: (.20)x + (.50)(10) = (.40)(x + 10) .20x + 5 = .40x + 4 .20x = 1 x = 5 liters of 20% solution of saline.
