I just always lmao when someone makes such statements. Its too bad people cant do the math to figure these things out.
For gods sake they all have a smart phone with calculator on it if they cant do it in their head. Have little sympathy for them. 
Last I looked, food every item in store has price per ounce/lb figured on price tag somewhere? 



Of course we assume that everybody knows there's 16 ounces in a pound, 128 ounce in a gallon, 100 cents in a dollar, 50 states in union, 5280 feet in a mile, 43560 square feet in an acre, 16.5 feet in a rod, 2000 pounds in a ton, 2204.62 in a tonne, 144 square inches in a board foot etc.

And we'd be wrong!



Reminds me of a chemistry class I had in college. Dont remember how or why but the professor asked how many feet in a mile, nobody said anything. Finally I spoke up and rattled off 5280. Girl next to me looked at me like it was the biggest shock ever and said "How the hell do you know that?"

Was somewhat eye awakening for me at that point how little people know about that kind of stuff. Or ounces in a quart, cup, etc.
