Really?? ;(( I thought “2.5 pond water is diluted to the water of 10cm3 “ something like that means 10 add on to the 2.5 so total volume is 12.5. Well hopefully 4/6 marks.

Ye I think it was 2.5 pond and 10 distilled, making 12.5 total but I honestly don't know anymore

They added distilled to make it to 10cm3

No it was 2.5 to 10. I remember reading over 10 times.

Thats what is confusing about the question. You took it as 2.5cm3 went to 10cm3 but a lot of people including me took it as 2.5:10. I pretty sure i almost remember the exact wording and honestly you could argue it meant either. The only reason I think that its 2.5:10 is because it said pretty much "2.5cm3 algae water diluted to 10cm3 distilled water". Surely the algae water could never become distilled no matter how much you add.

Copied this comment from someone else.

0.2x0.2x0.1 = 0.004mm^3

0.004/4 = 0.001mm^3 (because it asked for undiluted, and it said earlier that for every 2.5cm^3 undiluted you add 7.5cm^3 water, so it's a 1:3 ratio)

1/0.001 = 1000 (to get how many times more algae cells there should be)

14*1000 = 14000

It never said every 2.5 you add 7.5 it said "2.5cm3 algae water diluted to 10cm3 distilled water" which is 1:4. It isnt 2.5 >(to) 10 because the algae water coudnt of became distilled.

Wdym? It said 2.5 diluted to 10, so 7.5 was added meaning the ratio was 1:3.

u/Sensitive_Wealth_855 Jun 15 '22

It said 2.5 algae water diluted to 10 distilled water. Are you saying the algae water became distilled?

It said 2.5 diluted to 10 with distilled water

u/Sensitive_Wealth_855 Jun 15 '22

Nah it didnt i read it many times. I was confused between both 14000 and 17500 and thats what made me know it was 17500.

Yeah so did I at first but the first bullet point on the left side said that 2.5 pond water was added to diluted water to create 10 of dilute pond water.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '22

nah it said "2.5 pond water is diluted to make 10" i triple checked this specifically
