0.0174 scale weight?

[starway6]

I did a water extraction of cappi leaf leaving a paste after evaporating out the water dryed into a brown powder...

Im trying to weigh out in mgs about 150 to 200mgs of the brown maoi powder on a scale..

Set on mgs.. i weighed a small pile of the dry brown cappi powder ..the pile is about the same size as a 35mg pile of dmt crystals...but reads much higher in weight?

Asuming DMT crystals are much lighter in density than the extracted cappi leaf powder

The scale reads ...[0.0174].... Does this mean 174mgs??....or am i reading it wrong?

The scale doesnt have a [mg setting].. but converts to mgs in the [gram setting]..

again...0.0174?.....does this mean 174 mgs?...
would apreciate an opinion...

0.0174 = 17mg and some "change"

Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying. If your gram scale is sensitive enough to weigh in mg (which you said it converts) then the above statement is correct.

Milligram to gram conversion

mg = g
1.0 = 0.001
2.0 = 0.002
3.0 = 0.003
4.0 = 0.004
5.0 = 0.005
6.0 = 0.006
7.0 = 0.007
8.0 = 0.008
9.0 = 0.009

17mgs...THATS ALL?

I must be reading it wrong....

How exactly would 174mgs read on my scale that is set on grams but converting into mgs??:?:

 

[starway6]

Whoa!!

I made a mistake...after re weighing..it reads ..0.173...

Is this 173 mgs?...

 

[TGO]

Yes, indeed it is!

This is the real, secret, reason your math teacher told your class to stay awake.
It wasnt so you could share 8 apples with 9 people (who does that) they were trying to help you do drugs.
I was lucky, my teachers were hippies and told us math would help with drugs. Thats why in highschool I aced everything straight through pre-calc

In a base 10 number system with positional multipliers, like the one we have, you just move the decimal to adjust by powers of ten. Theres a thousand milligrams in a gram so just move the dot 3 spaces, 1.000 grams = 1000 mg
