From my husband, a Ph.d/MIT chemist:
To make 0.9% saline (weight/weight percent)
.9 g NaCl / 100 g water = 1.5 g / 166 ml
1/4 teaspoon of salt (i.e. 1.5 g) dissolved in 166 ml of water.
**************** APPROXIMATELY :****************
1/4 teaspoon salt in 2/3 cup water
or
3/4 teaspoon salt in 2 cups water.
or
a heaping 1/4 teaspoon in 1 cup water.
