Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"0/00" is a notation for parts per thousand (ppt), which means that for every 1000 parts of seawater, there are "0" parts of dissolved substances. A is incorrect because "parts per hundred" is not a commonly used unit of measurement. C and D are incorrect because they represent smaller proportions than ppt, with parts per million (ppm) being one-tenth of ppt and parts per billion (ppb) being one-thousandth of ppt.
