Hello, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm doing a prelab and the question asks:
Explain in details how you would prepare 100 mL of a 0.00200 M solution of NaCl by diluting 0.500M stock solution. The only glassware available for you to use are 1-mL, 5-mL, and 10-mL volumetric pipets and 100-mL volumetric flask.

I'm not sure what exactly I should explain. If someone could guide me through this, thanks in advance.

List steps - like taking a sample (what volume?) with a volumetric pipette, transferring it to a flask, filling up with water to the mark.
