Convert Weight (Mass)


Answer:
= 28.3495231 g

Multiply by 28.35
for quick conversions

oz × 28.35 = g

Solution

To convert oz to g, use the conversion factor

1 oz = 28.3495231 g

Then divide both sides of the equation by oz, to get the conversion ratio

1 = 28.3495231 g / oz

Using the conversion ratio to complete the unit conversion, basically multiplying the input by 1, the oz units cancel out, and we are left with g units.

1 oz × 28.3495231 g / oz
= 28.3495231 g

How to Convert Units of Weight

Conversions are performed by using a conversion factor. By knowing the conversion factor, converting between units can become a simple multiplication problem:

S * C = E

Where S is our starting value, C is our conversion factor, and E is our end converted result.

To simply convert from any unit into grams, for example, from 5 kilograms, just multiply by the conversion value in the right column in the table below.

5 kg * 1000 [ (g) / (kg) ] = 5000 g

To convert from g into units in the left column divide by the value in the right column or, multiply by the reciprocal, 1/x.

5000 g / 1000  [ (g) / (kg) ] = 5 kg

To convert among any units in the left column, say from A to B, you can multiply by the factor for A to convert A into grams then divide by the factor for B to convert out of grams. Or, you can find the single factor you need by dividing the A factor by the B factor.

For example, to convert from kilograms to pounds you would multiply by 1000 then divide by 453.59237.  Or, multiply by 1000/453.59237 = 2.204622. So, to convert directly from kg to lb, you multiply by 2.204622.
