Normalized Quantities
Quantitative Problem Solving in Natural Resources / Working with Numbers
"A normalized quantity is formed by dividing a quantity by a standard, total, or reference value of the same kind. Percentages, proportions, concentrations, frequencies, and probabilities are examples, and they may be expressed as ratios, decimals, percentages, per mil, parts per million, or parts per billion. Normalization often makes a relationship general and allows it to be rescaled to another population or system."
