40x aloe powder. Horrible with math can’t figure out how to use it.

[ewhitake]

Like the title says, I’m really, really, really horrible with math. And I have 40x aloe vera powder. In order to reconstitute it is it 40 parts of the aloe powder to one part water? Or or 40 parts water to one part aloe powder?
Thank you in advance. I always appreciate all the help that I get from this forum

I believe it should be 39 parts water to 1 part aloe powder. But I'm not a math whiz, either!

correct @A-Polly

Interesting, the Makesy link posted above by @MelissaG says 40 parts water to one part AVJ powder.

I am not sure which way is correct, but I'm going with the easy numbers every time (and that would not be 39).

Seriously, if you do use 40:1 instead of 39:1, it seems unlikely that the extra 1 part of water will make any difference to how the AVJ works in your soap recipe.
