    2.5 ounces of 20% glucose and 2. 5 ounces of water should be used to prepare 10% glucose.

    Explanation:

    Given = Required

    C1xV1 = C2xV2

    20 x V1 = 10 x 5

    V1 = (10 x 5) / 20

    = 2.5 ounces of 20% glucose

    Dilution factor = total amount - V1 (amount of given)

    = 5 - 2.5

    = 2.5 ounces

    Take 2.5 ounces of 20% glucose and make up the total amount upto 5 ounces by adding 2.5 ounces of water.

    Also simply as the percentage concentration is reduced by half so 1:2 dilution is used which means 2.5 ounces of 20% glucose with 2.5 ounces of water will give total of 5 aunces of solution

    2.5: 5 = 1:2
