If you have 28 grams, how many ounces do you have?

1 oz
2 oz
0.5 oz
3 oz

The correct answer is: 1 oz

To convert grams to ounces, it's important to use the conversion factor where 1 ounce is approximately equal to 28.35 grams. Thus, when you have 28 grams, it is necessary to divide the number of grams by the number of grams in one ounce to find the equivalent in ounces. When you perform the calculation: 28 grams ÷ 28.35 grams/ounce ≈ 0.988 ounces. This result is very close to 1 ounce. Therefore, having 28 grams would be best rounded to 1 ounce, making the answer correct. Understanding this conversion can help in various practical applications, such as cooking, where measurements need to be precise. Knowing how to switch between grams and ounces is particularly useful when working with recipes or nutritional information that uses different units of measurement.
