What is wrong with my math below?
203.8 sq.in. / 144 = 1.4153 sq.ft.
2.8 oz / 1.4153 sq.ft. = 1.9784 oz./sq.ft. (??? but this is not 2.61 oz./sq.ft.???)
1.9784 oz./sq.ft. / 16 = 0.12365 pound/sqft
My converter says 86g = 3.033563 us oz... or 2.76596 troy oz...
And that's why the metric system rules worldwide - except for some backwater countries. What a silly way to use your brain cells, maybe we have found the reason for our trade deficit...
