How do I convert grams to ounces?
Divide by 28.35. An avoirdupois ounce is 28.349523125 g exactly, so 100 g is 3.53 oz and a 250 g pack of butter is 8.82 oz.
Old British recipes use 454 g as the pound, which comes to 16.01 oz – the extra hundredth is rounding, not a bonus.
Precious metals use the troy ounce, about 31.1 g, so don't use this to work out what your gold is worth.
What are grams?
Grams are a unit of measurement in the metric system used to quantify mass or weight. One gram is equal to one thousandth of a kilogram, which is the base unit of mass in the metric system.

In everyday life, grams are often used to measure ingredients in recipes, portions of food, or the weight of small objects. The use of grams provides a standardized and precise way to measure mass, making it a convenient and widely accepted unit of measurement in the metric system.
