Carry out this task

  1. Open the linked tool and enter the displayed values.
  2. Measure 200 ml water and calculate the concentrate before mixing.
  3. Choose Calculate & Save and compare the displayed result with the worked calculation.

Calculation and observed tool result

Concentrate = 200 ÷ 10 = 20 ml; finished volume = 220 ml. Only dilute products whose instructions allow it.

Recorded quantity: 220 ml.

What the result means

Twenty millilitres of concentrate produces 220 ml finished liquid.

A mistake to avoid

The 200 ml input is water alone, not the final volume.

Limits of this example

Check the bottle has room for both components.
