Calculation and observed tool result

Concentrate = 1000 ÷ 10 = 100 ml; finished volume = 1,100 ml. Only dilute products whose instructions allow it.

Recorded quantity: 1,100 ml.

What the result means

The result is 100 ml concentrate and 1,100 ml finished liquid.

A mistake to avoid

A one-litre bottle would not hold the entire calculated batch.

Limits of this example

Leave any product-required headspace beyond the calculated liquid volume.
