Butter is ordinarily measured in avoirdupois pounds and ounces, where an ounce is 28.3495, and there are 16 ounces per pound, Thar's the scale used fir almost everything sold in a grocery or a hardware store, Thus 45 grams of butter or water or snap beans or nails or paint would weigh 1.587 avoirdupois ounces.

On the other hand, troy weight is use for the jewelry medals like silver, Golf ot

platinum. A troy ounce is heavier than an avoirdupois ounce, but because there are 12 troy ounces to a troy pound, a troy pound is less than an avoirdupois pound. A troy ounce is 31.103 grams, so 45 grams of butter weighs the same thing as 1.447 ounces of gold.

You may be aware of the riddle where you ask, "Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of iron?" The answer is that they weigh the same amount. Many people have heard that riddle, so you ask them, "which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of gold?" The feathers are heavier, Next day, you ask them which is heavier, an ounce of feathers or an ounce of gold?" This tie, the gold is heavier. Take your smart phone into the bar with you, to prove that you're right, and you should be able to win a beer from the same guy two days running. (Warning!
