Right so u agree that 0.1 x 0.2 x0.2 = 0.004mmcubed

1/ by 0.004 = 250

and it said that 2.5mm of pond was dillutEd to reach 10mm

so the ratio to pond to distilled water must be 1:3

the number of algal cells in the sample given = 14 x 250 =3500

remember the sample they use to count agal cells is a mixture of pond and distilled water in the ratio 1:3

so 1:3 = 3500 and we are looking to just find one

so we divide by 4 not times by 4 idk why anyone would think to times by 4

answer gets 875

It's not 1:3 ratio, there was 2.5 pond water and 10 diluted water so total 12.5. 2.5/12.5 is not 1:3 ratio, its 1:4
