Math? Sigh...........

Hey everyone,

I'm currenty studying nutrition & my metrics are very poor. I HATE math. Probably because I had incomptent teachers. :rolleyes:

Does anyone know of any good math forums out there? I really need a resource like TPS but themed towards math!

I tried to search google but got not what I was looking for.

Any help is appreciated ;)

You'd probably benefit more from a book. TONS of maths books available

Post something here... maybe we can help.

Yeah, math can be fun sometimes.

(my god...what did I just say?)

Math is fun all the time. Well, for me.

Theres Maths forums now? *shudder* Go for a book, its easier and if you need o print something, its already done!

That's because you're asian. Math is in your blood. ;)

Hey, thanks fellas

Ahhhhhhhhh, book? I'm up to my head in Photoshop books/mag, maya books, & nutrition books. Anymore books & I'll go postal. :eek:

Me & books is like this. I spend $$ on a book, & then i MUST read it or it just sits there bothering me...haunting me! :rolleyes:

My problem was, converting ounces to milligrams

I only know that 1 gram equals 1000 milligrams

multiply ounces by 28.35 to convert ounces to grams
multiply grams by 0.0353 to convert grams to ounces

(yes, I know there are conversion chats on the internet http://www.easysurf.cc/metric/cnver3.htm , but I want to know how, not just push a button all the time)

Anyway, I asked Dr.Math at http://mathforum.org/dr.math/ask/............

waiting for the formula

That's your formula dude. ;)

If x is the number of ounces, then:
x * 28.35 [oz -> g] / 1000 [g -> mg]

mo0chan is definitely super-wrong. Uncommon for an asian to be wrong at a math problem, but I'm half asian so at least i have some sort of right to contend >:P

the formula for converting oz to mg, if x is the number of ounces, is:

x * 0.0353 * 1000

OR

x * 35.3 (how do you like that for a concise conversion)

Proof that the formula works, as well as proof that I need a life.



Hmm. A little insight...

If you switch the places of the * and the / signs you get the right formula.
