Exercise 10 Page 320

Use the conversion factor that 1 ounce is roughly equal to 28.35 grams.

35.3 oz

Practice makes perfect
In this exercise, we need to find approximately how many ounces are equivalent to 1 kilogram. Let's begin by converting 1 kilogram (kg) to grams (g). 1 kg = 1000 gConverting between grams (g) and ounces (oz) will involve using a conversion factor. 1oz/28.35g Multiplying 1000g by this conversion factor will convert it to ounces.
1000g*1oz/28.35g
1000g*1oz/28.35g
1000g*1oz/28.35g
1000*1oz/28.35
1000oz/28.35
