determine the dilution ratio, and the actual glucose level of the patient

Question

I'm solving solutions

 

A
sample of a patient’s blood serum revealed a glucose level that was off the chart to
high to be properly measured by the instrument. A dilution of the serum was performed, by
adding 15 μL of serum to 75 μL of dilutent. The result
ing solution had a glucose level of 75
mg/dL. Determine the dilution ratio used, and the actual glucose level of the patient

Answer 1

15 uL into 75uL is a 1:5 ratio, but the concentration is one part out of a total of 6 (because the final volume is 90uL). So the final concentration needs to be multiplied by 6. The result is 75 x 6 or 450 mg/dL.....

 

Make sense?
