When we talk about measurements, sometimes we need to understand different ways to measure the same thing. For example, when you’re gardening, you might use grams (g) to weigh seeds, soil, or other materials. But in some places, people use ounces (oz) instead of grams.
To change grams into ounces, we can use a simple conversion. There are about 28.35 grams in one ounce. So, if we want to convert 100 grams into ounces, we can use the formula:
$$
\text{ounces} = \frac{\text{grams}}{28.35}
$$
Plugging in our number gives us:
$$
\text{ounces} = \frac{100}{28.35} \approx 3.53 \, \text{oz}
$$
So, 100 grams is approximately 3.53 ounces.
Here are seven objects that weigh exactly 100 grams, which can help you understand this measurement better:
- A medium-sized orange
- A small bar of soap
- A packet of sugar (usually 100g)
- A standard AA battery
- A medium-sized apple
- A small book (like a pocket-sized novel)
- A handful of jellybeans
Understanding this conversion can help you when you’re planting seeds or measuring ingredients for compost or fertilizers in your garden!
