How many grams of water would you add to 1.00 kg of 1.48 m CH3OH(aq) to reduce the molality to 1.00 m CH3OH?

Ok...I got 480, and the systems says there's a rounding error. I did it again and I got 480. Someone help me?

I think 480 grams is the correctnumber; my best guess is that the problem is one of significant figures. I assume you are keying the answer into an on-line data base; try keying in 4.8 x 10^2 grams. Let me know if this works or not (either way).
nope. have to contact my teacher about this.
