Question

Weight: How many grams does a 5 lb 8 oz roast weigh?The roast weighs ? grams.

Answer 1

Solution

For this case we have the following weight:

5 lb and 8 oz

Using the following conversion ratios

1lb = 453.592 gr

1 oz = 28.3495 gr

We need to convert into grams so we can do this:

$5lb\cdot\frac{453.592gr}{1lb}=2267.96gr$$8oz\cdot\frac{28.3495gr}{1oz}=226.796gr$

Then adding the two values we have:

2267.96gr + 226.796gr = 2494.756 gr
