Hi Jaimie Martin!
If you have a solution that contains 50g of sucrose in 1L of water, you can simply dilute it by adding more water to it. This is because if you calculate the current molarity of this solution (convert 50g of sucrose to moles and then divide it over 1L to find the molarity) it will be about 0.146moles/liters. If you add more liters of water, you will notice that the denominator will become larger and hence, the total moles per liter will begin to decrease or dilute.
I hope I answered your question correctly. Good luck on chem and please ask if you need something clarified :)
