oddly, that's just over 8g, the difference noted in OP's example. so, OP's package is within he allowable tolerance, just.
5/16 oz out of 5 oz is just over 6%.
Thank you! I don't get why they use such weird measurements. Why not use %?
Probably because, as evidenced by most others' attempts to do simple arithmetic in this thread, percentages are even more difficult to calculate.
How many football fields to the gallon is that? On a serious note this is something far better expressed as a fraction than an amount of difference for one specific container size...
You can't divide 5/16 by 5?
It's not really clear whether the variance scales linearly with weight. We only know 1 data point. It could be bracketed for different weight groups.
exactly
5/80
Easy 😎
6.25%
Congratulations
1/16th
In the nineties, 4oz ground pepper cans made on a line I worked on.
The tolerances were horrible.
McCormick was 3.9 I think
Black and white can 3.5. !!! (25%)
Yes both were made on the same exact line
.5 is not 25% of 4
Why is the basic arithmetic in this thread so terrible?
Because it’s full of delusional angry people that think there’s a global conspiracy to short consumers tiny percentages of our food to keep us subjugated and poor
It's not necessarily a conspiracy. They're all just doing it because it's easy and there's plausible deniability.
TBH, I was hungover a piss, and was like fuck it.
