Answer:

163 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following equation

M1V1=M2V2

Plug in what you have and you get

(7.08 M)(244 mL)=(10.60 M)(V2)

Use algebra to solve for V2 by dividing both sides by 10.60 and you get the unknown volume which is 163 mL

Be careful of the units for volume. Notice I didn't bother to convert to Liters.
