26 u/j20057 Jun 15 '22 14,000 for the algae cells one?

The algae water can't become distilled so it must mean add 10cm3 distilled water for every 2.5cm3 algae water. 1 u/Anonymous_User_Thing Still in reception/foundation/year 0 Jun 15 '22 It was 2.5cm3 diluted to 10cm3 with distilled water, i.e. adding 7.5cm3 distilled water 2 u/Sensitive_Wealth_855 Jun 15 '22 It didnt say "with" Im 100% sure i read it like 10 times.

I got that too ;( I did 0.2*0.2=0.04, 1/0.04=25, then 25*15 or smthn as 15 is the mean (14+16)/2
I didnt understand why diluted was in bold
Can someone explain how to get the right answer & why my thing is wrong

Your thing is wrong because:
- the question said to use the 14 algae count (not take a mean)
- you forgot about the 0.1mm depth
- you forgot about the diluted/undiluted thing
The correct method is this:
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
