Was she the winner? If not, then others drank more than she did! And they didn't die, did they?

Extremely simple high school chemistry question:

You have a certain concentration of sodium in a 110 pound volume of saline fluid (a certain human body) and the same concentration of sodium in a 170 pound volume of saline fluid (another human body). You then add two gallons of free water to the first container and two gallons and five ounces of free water to the second container.

Which container will end up with the most diluted sodium concentration?
