Perplexing paint mixing problems - need help from math guys!

It's actually for an epoxy primer.

1 quart primer taxes 1/2 ounce of hardener.

But I only need to mix 8 ounces of primer.

So how much hardener?

I figured .75 teaspoons (3/4 of a teaspoon).

But it doesn't seem to come out right.

Here's my math:

1 qt = 32 oz.

1/2 oz = 3 tsp.

I want 8 oz, so that's 1/4 of a quart.

So I need to use 1/4 of the hardener, which would be .75 tsp. (1/4th of 3 tsp = .75).

Where am I going wrong, math dudes!
