Real-Life Math You Actually Need to Know
Let’s be honest—most of us never use the math we learned in school. Nobody is standing in the grocery aisle solving for X before buying a loaf of bread. But there’s one type of math that actually shows up all the time in real life:
Converting eighths to grams
- Checking if you’re getting a good deal
- Figuring out how much more you need to spend to maximize discounts
These are the numbers that matter. And today, we’re going to make sure you never get shorted on an eighth, never get tricked by a bad bulk deal, and never overpay for something you don’t need.
Let’s do some math.
The Basics: Eighths, Quarters, and Ounces
If you don’t know how to convert eighths to grams, you’re going to have a hard time checking your purchase. Here’s the only chart you need:
- 1 eighth (1/8 oz) = 3.5 grams
- 1 quarter (1/4 oz) = 7 grams
- 1 half-ounce (1/2 oz) = 14 grams
- 1 ounce (1 oz) = 28 grams
And let’s settle this now—an eighth is NOT 4 grams. If someone tells you otherwise, they either failed math or they’re hoping you don’t notice.
Now that we’ve covered why knowing your weights matters, let’s put your skills to the test with some real-world story problems.
Funny (but Practical) Real-World Math Problems
Because what’s the point of knowing the numbers if you can’t apply them to everyday situations?

1. Did Pete Get Ripped Off?
Pete bought an eighth (3.5 grams) of premium Sativa flower, but when he got home and weighed it, he only had 3 grams.
Question: Did Pete get a good deal, or did he just lose half a gram?
Answer: Pete got shorted 0.5 grams, which is about $5-$10 worth depending on the price per gram. Bad deal, Pete. Always check your weight.

2. Jake and the Buy-One-Get-One-Free Scam
Jake loves cereal. His favorite brand is $4.99 per box, but the store has a BOGO deal. Right next to it, there’s a larger family-size box for $8.49.
Question: If the family-size box contains 1.5 times the amount of a regular box, is it still cheaper than the BOGO deal?
Equation:
BOGO deal: Two boxes for $4.99, meaning each box costs $4.99 ÷ 2 = $2.50 per box
Family-size: Since it contains 1.5 times the cereal, we divide the cost by 1.5: $8.49 ÷ 1.5 = $5.66 per box
Answer: Jake should stick to the BOGO deal, but let’s be real—he’s probably buying both and eating the entire family-size box in one night anyway.

3. The Mystery of the Vanishing Ounce
Steve’s friend tells him that an ounce is 30 grams instead of 28 grams.
Question: Is Steve’s friend a genius or just bad at math?
Answer: He’s wrong. An ounce is 28 grams, not 30. If you ever hear someone say otherwise, check their math—or their intentions.

Bonus Lesson: Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid – What’s the Difference?
Now that you’re a math pro, let’s make sure you’re choosing the right product for your vibe.
Sativa: Uplifting, energetic, and great for daytime use. If you need to stay productive or creative, this is your strain.
Indica: Relaxing, calming, and great for nighttime use. Indica = “In da couch”, so don’t plan on being productive after this.
Hybrid: A mix of both worlds. Perfect if you want balance without going too extreme in either direction.
