It makes much more sense when converted into fractions and multiply, where you have 9/10 and 11/10 respectively. Using percentages outside of a fixed reference causes all the confusion.
optimistic to expect your average peon, including me, to turn percentages into fractions in their mind
I finally learned to convert fractions and imperial vs metric by selling drugs and working retail lol.
For example I can tell you that one OZ = ~~0.625~~ 0.0625* LB off the dome but don't ask me to do calculus.
I think you're missing a zero, or have transposed the zero and decimal point. You need 16 oz for 1 lb, right? Or did you just give your customers really good deals?
lol yeah meant to be .06 my bad. Of course that kind of oversight you would quickly realize while weighing stuff out
Oh, I never learned Oz to lb. Ounce just was some weird thing like 28 grams
