When you’re gardening, you might sometimes need to measure how much your plants or soil weigh. One way to do this is by using grams and pounds.
Grams are a smaller unit of weight used by most of the world, while pounds are a larger unit mainly used in the United States. To understand how to switch between these two measurements, let’s look at the relationship between them:
1 pound is equal to approximately 453.592 grams. So, if we want to find out how many pounds are in 900 grams, we can use the following equation:
$$
\text{Pounds} = \frac{\text{Grams}}{453.592}
$$
If we plug in 900 grams into the equation, we get:
$$
\text{Pounds} = \frac{900}{453.592} \approx 1.98 \text{ pounds}
$$
This means that 900 grams is about 1.98 pounds. That’s just a bit less than 2 pounds, which can help you estimate the weight of things when gardening, such as soil, plants, or bags of fertilizer.
Here are 7 objects that are exactly equal to 900 grams:
- A medium-sized bag of flour
- About 2 cups of sugar
- A large tomato
- A small bag of potatoes
- A bundle of fresh herbs
- A standard-sized large onion
- A commercial-sized packet of seeds
Knowing how to convert grams to pounds can be really helpful, especially when you want to share or find out how much your gardening supplies weigh!
