Serial Dilutions - 4
•Next calculate dilution in tube 2 thru 5
•Dilution = 2 + 0.5    = 1:5 or 1/5
•                    0.5    
•Next calculate dilution in tube 6
•Dilution = 2 + 0.2    = 1:11or 1/11
•                    0.2    
•so to calculate the serial dilution you multiply the dilution factor of each tube:
•    1   x   1   x   1   x   1  x   1  x   1   =       1
