Someone Check My Math.

I need to combine two powders to make one. The mixture is 70% powder A and 30% powder B. Powder A is sold in 1/2 pound, 1 pound, and 5 pound contianers. Powder B is sold in 1/8 pound, 1/4 pound, and 1/2 pound containers. 10 grams of the mixture is needed per "thing" that I am making. So if I buy 1 pound of A, then 1/2 pound of B is more than enough right? So with that amount of powder I should be able to make about 1.3 pounds of the mixture, right? 1.3 pounds is about 589 grams which means I can make about 57 of the things? Is that right???

Thanks,
Joe

Thumbs up

Joe, your math is correct.
Just make sure you actually make 57 things not,
"five really good ones" like my friend Stumpy did.

A static electricity grounding wrist strap like the computer techies wear might be a good idea for when you're handling these "powders" if ya know what I mean. Or at least that's what my friend Lefty suggested.
