Convert
OUNCES to GRAMS (g)
Use the Symbol g

A unit of measure that is 1 one thousandths
from the Base Unit kilogram (0.001 kg)
because there are exactly 1000 g (grams)
in 1 kg (kilogram).

Remember, kilo is the prefix meaning 1000 times as much.

To convert ounces to grams multiply by 28.3495
1 ounce = 28.3495 grams
1 pound = .4536 kilograms = 453.6 grams
1 US ton = 907.18 kilograms = 0.907 metric tonne

1 ounce = 29.58 milliliters
1 quart = 0.9464 liters
1 gallon = 3.785 liters

14	396.89
15	425.24

NOTE:
Originally convention had it that the gram was to be
the base unit for MASS but familiarity and
convenience seemed to determine that the kilogram be
the Base Unit for MASS.
Because it is all Simply Related in 10.

Those little grams can sure
go a long way.
The mass of 1 g (gram)
is a unit of measure
that you can hardly feel
on the end of your finger.

DID
YOU KNOW?
( Video)

that you can divide 1 meter by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 x 10 x 10 cm)
then make a cube (1000 cm³) of it
to fill with water
and you will find that it contains exactly 1 L
(1 liter)
(1000 mL)
of water
and is the mass
of exactly 1 kg
(1 kilogram)
(1000 g).

ALL SIMPLY RELATED
IN 10!
