Polish to English translations [PRO]
Science - Environment & Ecology / Testing of agricultural chemical agents

Polish term or phrase: (numer)/(numer)

Numer próbki: 10/16.
I think the slash (/) means "or". Thus:
"Number of samples: 10, or 16."
I do not think it means "10 to 16". (I.e. 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or 16.)
However, I cannot find a definite answer in the context.

Grading comment

Thank you for your extremely fast reply. It saved me from inserting a stupid comment in my translation that the client would easily flag. This was a case of my resisting the plain message from the author. (Not a good personality trait for a translator.)
