Diluting solutions question

50cm^3 of 3.0m hydrochloric acid was diluted with 150cm3 of water. What is the concentration of hydrogen ions in the resultant solution?

(0.05)(3.0) = 0.2 mol

0.2 mol/0.15dm^3 = 1.3 mol/dm^3 or 1300 mol/cm^3

?
the answer is 0.75mol/dm^-3 however, i don't know how to get this

Okay so the new volume of the solution is 200cm^3.
There's a formula.
c1v1 = c2v2

50 x 3 = 200 x new concentration

new conc. = 150/200

=0.75

i was somewhat close to this but i didn't think of dividing 150/200, thanks for the help!
