Here's something new for your brewing pin up board/library.

I've been using the formula 1 lb grain = .75 LME = .6 DME for years then it dawned on me...what exactly is .6 of a pound???

Looking through my extensive brewing library (40+ books) I found a chart in "Brew Classic European Beers at Home", page 183 with the answer:

Decimal fractions of a pound to ounces:

lb = oz
.10 = 1.6
.15 = 2.4
.20 = 3.2
.25 = 4.0
.30 = 4.8
.35 = 5.6
.40 = 6.4
.45 = 7.2
.50 = 8.0
.55 = 8.8
.60 = 9.6
.65 = 10.4
.70 = 11.2
.75 = 12.0
.80 = 12.8
.85 = 13.6
.90 = 14.4
.95 = 15.2
