Super simple math:

Answer 2

DUH DUH DUHHH! Easy my friend that never talks to me anymore.

Presuming this is by volume. If you divide your 5% vinegar by 10, it will become 0.5%. Divide by 100 and you get 0.05%, and so on.

So 0.05% is 5 tablespoons added to 500 tablespoons of water. Look for a unit conversion on the internet because you would want a larger unit like cups or gallons for measuring 500 tablespoons (2 gallons).

So 5 tablespoons in 200 gallons is your other ratio. Check this is what you want, because that's practically nonexistent at 5 parts per million.
