Yes, you are correct. I forgot to mention that. That is also in my chem text, and hopefully everyone else’s. If you start rounding before you get you’re final value, you’re gonna be in a mess.

Was that directed to me? I know my grammar/spelling sucks lol. I do appreciate you putting what I was trying to say into simpler terms btw. Until the OP gets back online, it’s hard to tell if we’ve been any help. I would like to see the original question, and his answer myself

I see what I did Aga. Damn spellcheck. A blessing and a curse, all wrapped up in one

Google (as in google.com itself, not the search results) has quite a few converters built-in.

Typing in the search box: "1/8oz in g" comes up with 3.54g

It's really useful for converting obscure units, like a 'pennyweight', 'cup' or 'dram'.

Also try this unit converter to convert it.
