Principle of Geometric Dilution

A procedure that should be followed when mixing an ingredient of a larger quantity (L) with a second ingredient of a smaller quantity (S). L is to be mixed into S in small portions. First, add a portion of L which has the same volume of that of S followed by thorough mixing. You will get a mixture (M1). Then, add another portion of L which has the same volume of that of M1 followed by thorough mixing. Do the mixing based on the above principle until L is mixed into S completely.
