How do you convert percentage strength to PPM?

  1. Move the decimal LEFT 4 places

  2. Move the decimal RIGHT 4 places

  3. Move the decimal LEFT 2 places

  4. Move the decimal RIGHT 2 places

The correct answer is: Move the decimal RIGHT 4 places

To convert percentage strength to parts per million (PPM), you need to move the decimal point to the right four places. This is because 1% is equivalent to 10,000 parts per million (PPM), so to convert a percentage value to PPM, you multiply by 10,000. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Moving the decimal point left four places (option A) would actually result in a smaller value, not a conversion to PPM. Similarly, moving the decimal point left or right two places (options C and D) would not result in the correct conversion to parts per million.
