to allocate quantities properly you need to break them down into units. So your 60 lbs bag becomes 60 - 1 lbs units. In your assembly you then use 0.22 units (100g). This way you don't burden the bookkeeper with extra conversions and only have to make sure to record a 60 lbs bag as 60 - 1 lbs units.
