I learned that in elementary school too.
I don't think that's the case anymore.

Well eff that I'm not changing now..........all these years later no way LOL.

Nobody indents the first sentence in a paragraph anymore, that just came to mind.

I dunno if @yrba1 knows that's not a real word, or if he just has a nuanced sense of humor.

It's the latter, had a finance professor who called me out for using a double negative (said the answer to his question was not incorrect), then I proceeded to use bad grammar in a trolling fashion just to peeve people :whistle::D

No crap. I still use most all the equivalencies I memorized in school. That stuff was so drilled into my head I'm surprised when I can't rattle off 1760 yards to the mile or 25.4 mm to the inch etc. . Remember when we had to waste all that time on the metric system when this country was supposed to switch to it? Interstate signs in kilometers etc. I still use the trig functions. I used to know the multiplication table up to 15.....I'm only good to 12 now. Apparently the schools haven't taught this stuff in quite some time. I usually chime in with the answer when someone pulls out their cell phone (brain) to look it up.

3.5 grams to an eighth of an oz.
7 grams to a a quarter oz.
14 grams to a half oz.
28 grams to a full oz. (technically, more like 28.5, but nobody ever gives you the half gram)
4 ozs to a quarter pound
8 ozs to a half pound
16 ozs to a full pound
2.2 lbs to a kilo

I was never one of those punk kids told the math teacher "I will never use this in real life". I fucking used it - all the damn time.

If an eighth ounce of crippy is $60, and an eighth ounce of dirt weed is $20, and a bowl is exactly 1/64th of an ounce, how many bowls of dirt weed would it take to equal the potency of one bowl of crippy, and what's the price per bowl? Show your work.

So professional. We used to go by volume in sandwich baggies, i.e. finger bags. One finger was $5. Two fingers $10 etc. Four fingers was a lid which was an ounce.
