right:
to answer your first question:
ppm, or parts per million, literally means parts per million.
In the sense of an aqueous solution, since one litre of water is one kilogram, and one millionth of a kilogram is a milligram, 1 ppm = 1 mg/L, which is also 1 microgram per millilitre (divide top and bottom by 1000)
in the sense of mass/mass, it is 1mg/kg, or 1 microgram/gram
This 9ppm is the concentration of lead, however, this is per millilitre. Since we had 10 mL of solution, it is appropriate to calculate all the lead, hence 9ppm x 10 = 90 microgram/mL
Since this 90 microgram is present in 1.5g of oyster "extract", to find how many micrograms are in 1g of oyster, 90/1.5 = 60 microgram/gram.
to our convenience, microgram just happens to be one millionth of a gram, hence it can be said to be 60 ppm w/w (weight per weight).
