1.2mL will be needed to make 50 mL of a 2% solution
Ratio and proportions
Ratio are written in form of fractions.
If 50mL is required for a 2% solution, hence;
50% = 2mL
0.05 = 2mL
In order to determine the required mL for a 30% solution, we will have;
30% =x
0.03 = x
Find the ratios
0.5/0.3 = 2/x
Cross multiply
0.5x = 2(0.03)
0.5x = 0.6
x = 0.6/0.5
x = 1.2mL
Therefore 1.2mL will be needed to make 50 mL of a 2% solution
