I work in manufacturing. The engineers at my plant think everything works like it does on their computer screens. I had one of them tell me the mix needs exactly 248.73kg of a product and they were shocked when I told them we just add five 50kg bags and don't actually weigh out 248.73kg.

The amount left over/wasted across the five bags is probably approximately 1.27kg so it all works out
