How many milliliters of 2.55M NaOH is needed to make 125mL of 0.75M NaOH solution?

As i am reading the problem, i notice they give two concentrations (M), a volume and asking for the other volume; this should be a hint that we need to use the dilution formula---> M1V1 = M2V2

M1 = 2.55 M

V1 = ?

M2 = 0.75 M

V2 = 125 mL

now, we plug in the values into the formula

(2.55 x V1) = (0.75 x 125)

V1 = 36.8 mL
