Think about juice. When you have a cup of juice, it’s sweet and tasty. Now, if you add some water to it, the juice becomes less sweet. This is because you are spreading out the juice flavor with the water. The juice is still there, but it’s not as strong. This is what it means to dilute something. Diluting makes the strong taste or color less strong by adding something like water.
Imagine you have a big box of crayons. If you take out all the red crayons and mix them with a lot of white crayons, the red color becomes lighter. The red is still there, but it’s not as bright anymore. This is another way to understand how diluting works. It’s like making something less strong or less colorful by adding more of something else.
Let’s think about music. If you have a song playing loudly and you turn the volume down, the music is still playing, but it’s quieter. This is similar to diluting, where the original thing is still there, but it’s less intense or noticeable.
