Because when a solute and a solvent are combined, it creates a solution. When two solvents are combined, it just makes a stronger solvent.
Further answer
It also depends on what you are trying to do. Alcohol is a solvent and so is water but if you wanted to have diluite alcohol you'd have to add water to alcohol, or vice versa.
solute is what is being dissovled, a solvent is what the solute is being dissolved in. ex: Salt ( solute) water (solvent)
1) increase the solvent's temperature 2) add more solvent 3) stir (have the solvent and solute meet together more instead of letting the solute rest at the bottom of the solvent)
If by "too much of a solute" you mean past the solute's solubility point, then the solute will not dissolve and instead precipitate and sink beneath the solvent. If you create a supersaturated solution, the solute will crystallize in the solvent until the remaining solute creates a saturated solution with the solvent.
If you weigh the solute, and then weigh the solvent, and then add the solute to the solvent and weigh the solution, you will find that the sum of the weights of the solute and solvent is equal to the weight of the resulting solution. So mass is conserved.
what is the solvent and solute of milo
The sugar is the solute and the water is the solvent. Whatever is dissolved is the solute, and whatever the solute is dissolved in is the solvent. The solvent dissolves the solute.

To make a solution you add a solute to a solvent.

I shall explain it to you with the aid of an example. If we take some sugar and add it to water, then the solute is sugar and the solvent is water.The solute is always the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the liquid in which the solute dissolves.
solvent;water solute:pineapple and some dissolved substance

You add more solvent.
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
You can eitheradd more solvent,allow some solvent to evaporate,add more solute,allow the solute to precipitate and remove some.
