I kinda suck at math and at fractions n shit so

I have this scale - for weighing small drops of essential oils and bits of herbs for soaps I make

so for oz is looks like 0.000 empty

so I am trying to get what 1/8 & 1/4 $ 1/16 of an oz would "look" like on that scale

Good thing it's not just me and you cuz the business would grind to a halt. But that's not true cuz we'd still have our intuition

Good luck!

so 1 oz would look like 1.000 _ right ?

and 1/2 would be what .500 ?


damn I need some help

I am so math illiterate but I'm a Sr. Analyst in Accounting for Finance! It's crazy because I have a natural affinity and flair for numbers but have me try and figure out what your trying to figure out and forget it. I don't know if that should make me scared or amazed

You should send a link of the thread to Moonbeam. He's a sick genius

Oh TY

Mach said:

1oz=30ml

1/8oz=3.75ml=3/4 of a teaspoonful

1/4oz=7.5ml=1 & 1/2 tsp

1/16oz=1.88ml=a little more than a 1/4 of a teaspoonful?

you can go to a pharmacy and get an oral dosing syringe to measure these amounts..

No I have a high $ new micro scale ( or whatever )

where 1.000 = 1 oz ( 0.000 ) empty

it does not have ml

though I do think it has grams

Mach said:

1/8 = 0.125
1/4 = 0.250
1/16= 0.0625


I'm pretty sure that's right.

That's those fractions as decimal figures.

Mach said:

Yes!

This is correct.

If you want to figure out what a fraction is grab a calculator! Just enter the top number and divide by the bottom number. So if it's 1/4 enter 1 and then divide by 4 = and you'll get 0.25.

Oh, and "essential oils" and "soap", gotcha!

That's it!

Mach said:
