Explanation:
5.5 billion grains of sand ( 5.5×109 grains)
If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0% , how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?
Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand
Brown grains = 0.06 * 5.5×10^9 = 0.33 x 10^9 = 3.3 x 10^8 grains
If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0 ppm, how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?
Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand
6ppm = 6 / 1000000 = 0.000006
Brown grains = 0.000006 * 5.5×10^9 = 3.3 x 10^4 grains
If the concentration of brown sand is 6.0 ppb, how many grains of brown sand are in the bucket?
Number of grains = Concentration of brown side * Bucket of sand
6ppb = 6 / 1000000000 = 0.000000006
Brown grains = 0.000000006 * 5.5×10^9 = 3.3 x 10^1 = 33 grains
