Larry, who is 21 and legally allowed to consume alcohol, is at a super bowl party with his friends and pours 1ml of his alcohol into 34ml of soda.
Greg, who is also 21, then walks over with a 199ml bowl of soda, which Larry clumsily spills his entire drink into the bowl.
What dilution has Larry's initial alcohol been diluted down to?
Dilution factor : Volume of sample / total volume
Larry's initial dilution : 1/35 = 1:35 dilution factor , the alcohol was diluted to 35 times
After getting mixed with Gregs : total volume = 35+199 = 234 ml
Dilution factor will be 1/234 i.e.the alcohol has been diluted down to 234 times..
