What Are Grams and Ounces?
- Grams are a unit of mass used in most places around the world. They are part of the metric system.
- Ounces are a unit of weight used mainly in the United States and are part of the customary system.
The Conversion
To convert grams to ounces, we can use the following formula:
$$
\text{oz} = \frac{\text{g}}{28.35}
$$
So if we want to convert 175 grams to ounces, we do the math like this:
$$
\text{oz} = \frac{175}{28.35} \approx 6.17 \text{ oz}
$$
This tells us that 175 grams is about 6.17 ounces.

Here are 7 objects that are about 175 grams (or 6.17 ounces):
