stupid math question


Recommended Posts

Sorry, but my brain just isn't figuring it out... I have a one ounce sample of FO, and I want to use it at 1.5 oz per pound. Since I have one ounce, how many ounces of wax do I need to subtract to get the 1.5pp "recipe"??? :grin2:

Thanks... I was never any good in math!

You have 2/3rd of the sample you need for the 1.5pp.

1.5 oz per pound, but you have 1 oz.

(3) .5 oz = 1.5oz

(2) .5oz = 1.0oz

For 1.5pp you would take 16oz and divide by 3. Which equals 5.33oz.

(2) 5.33oz = 10.66 oz

That would make your 1.5pp recipe.
