Per stirpes receive one-third (all of "D"s one-third share). Under "per capita", the two-thirds remaining after "C" 's one-third share was taken would be divided equally among all three children of "B" and "D". (Two-thirds = six ninths) Each would receive two-ninths: "B1", "B2", and "D1" would all receive two-ninths. "Notes:" In many U.S. states, such as New York, a statute has modified the "per stirpes" approach and utilizes instead a per capita with representation approach (also known as modern American per stirpes). Under the per capita with representation approach, the number of branches is determined by reference to the generation nearest
Parts-per notation reports intended for the general public—using parts-per notation (2.1 ppm, 0.8 ppb, etc.) and further, for those reports to state that the notations denote milligrams per liter or micrograms per liter. Although "2.1 mg/L" is not a dimensionless quantity, it is assumed in scientific circles that "2.1 mg/kg" (2.1 ppm) is the true measure because one liter of water has a mass of about one kilogram. The goal in all technical writing (including drinking-water reports for the general public) is to clearly communicate to the intended audience with minimal confusion. Drinking water is intuitively a volumetric quantity in the public’s
