LMFAO. And this is why tool techs kept engineers off the manufacturing line.

This is why I prefer the metric system.

That'd be more handy if it didn't have errors...

Yup, we REALLY NEED a 5.5mm socket...

And Canada,supposedly Metric for decades, STILL always says...'be on the lookout for a black male, 6 foot two, 235 POUNDS'....

Darn. I was ready to print it out

Same. My wife always struggles with conversions in the kitchen.

I have a few of those. Short, standard and deep well. Magnetic insert. Also with the U joint attached.
Sockets aside, measurements make more sense.

It all started here.

What are the errors? I just printed it and gave it to my wife that does a lot of baking. If it is wrong, and she has a baking failure it is going to be my head in the over, unattached from my body.

The 'spoons to cups part.

The 'spoons to cups part.

are you referring to the teaspoons or the table spoons. I did check the table spoon to cup conversion and it is correct.

Given that 1 cup equals 16 tablespoons, to find the number of tablespoons in ? cup, we just need to multiply 1/8 (or 0.125) by 16. That gives us 2. Therefore, there are exactly 2 US tablespoons in 1/8 cup.

There are 24 teaspoons in half a cup.
There are 4 tablespoons in one quarter cup.

When I compare everything looks correct to me. Ah! Are you are one of those that think there are 2 teaspoons to a tablespoon?

 

[Speed25]

I didn't dive in deeply, but the tsp to 1/3C were wrong, as were the tsp to 2/3C. Might be more, but those jumped out at me.

It appears some are missing the little + signs at the 1/3 and 2/3 cup areas. 1/3 cup is 1 teaspoon plus 5 tablespoons, 2/3 cup is 2 teaspoons plus 10 tablespoons. Easily overlooked in a quick glance ( or without our reading glasses)

No, no. I thought it was 48.5 tsp to a cup/ 16.25 tbs to a cup.

Look at the tablespoon and teaspoon lines in the diagram......

(5 US tablespoons) + (1 US teaspoon) =
0.333333333 US cups

 

[DustyRusty]

No, no. I thought it was 48.5 tsp to a cup/ 16.25 tbs to a cup.

just did a google search and it is 48 teaspoons to a cup and 16 tablespoons to a cup.

Now that is settled, can we get back to arguing about something that really matters to all of us, such as Kubota Credit, hydraulic and engine oils, filters, and all the other topics that seem to bring out the best in each of us? It is obvious that we will never agree to teaspoons, tablespoons, cups or any other units of measurements.

I saw this earlier on X. Very good thing to have on a poster in the workshop.

You guys need to get out of the kitchen and back on your tractors.

What about the metric clock?
Should we discuss that?
