Depending on whether it was a dilution ratio or dilution factor. Obviously if it was a dilution factor, then the BMS was right; you can't have a solution with no solvent!

For what it's worth, I've never encountered anything other than dilution factors in lab protocols.

It depends on whether you're talking about the ratio if solute to solvent or of solute to solution
