Math For Ratios

If you’re like me you want to know how things work and then apply that knowledge. Here. There. Make shit work easy. Emphasis on easy. In the new book, the mushroom bible, it mentions a bulk sub ratio 12:6:1 but zero illumination upon how to apply it based on my ingredients and equipment on hand. Even yet to be determined stuff. Now I’m not necessarily dead set on using that particular ratio but having read it I began to think on the whole process, picturing other similar info from shroomery posts, journals or grow logs. Tutorials with this ingredient or that bucket or some other equipment. On this particular problem. Mind boggled. Did I find the calculators? Sure, I still wanted to know how to do it though, tailor calculations and therefore control another aspect of the experiment? Well turns out its pretty damn easy. Emphasis on easy.
A half ass search led to mojito recipes. Simplistic 2 part ratios. Sure, a 2:1 for 3 ozs is 2 ounces this and 1 ounce that. Fucking duh dickheads. I’m not a sex on the beach guzzling queen. I've got around a lot of the globe(or whatever the flat earthers call it)and always managed to belly up to the bar. Fan of Boston lager and the great microbrews around the states like those crazy drunks in Pennsylvania. You know who you are. Right ratios. So what is X:X:X? Porn hub?
A correct search led me to a lesson explaining this problem. Bottom of page 4 has a practical example with the answer on 5 detailing how to solve for parts with any given ratio of any given quantity. Brilliant.

Thanks math center! A little spreadsheet action, I was applying that “useless" school math i thought I wouldn’t use. I was too high to retain solving for a hypotenuse but I sure could remember PEMDAS, a five letter acronym!

I'm trying to think of every variable like ompensating for dry volume/wet volume or calculating size and how many jars at 3/4 full ect. I'm having fun and scheming as to what’s inaccurate and missing. Different tabs for separate prosesses?
Peace

You always take the lowest number, and compare it with the other 2 12:6:1 can also be written as 12:1 and 6:1. Just saying.
Although when you add them together 6:1+12:1 would be 12:6:2 so you probably should just do 6:1 and then add the 12 parts lol

PEMDAS is a six letter acronym.

I did a similar spreadsheet recently for calculating the amounts of HWP and various supplements for any given C:N ratio. Then I used it to make up 8 bags of pioppino at 16:1, 20:1, 30:1, 40:1, 50:1, 70:1 100:1, and 200:1. Does that make me a tool bag too?

Why not just do it on dry weight %...?
With HWFP and bran than is especially easy

They also make calculators for figuring out substrates amounts.

It has everything to do with how it was wrote not what he was doing
