I approach this like so: How many _____ equals ____ ______? Or rewritten as, _____ ounces = 48 grams Find a conversion between grams and ounces (or multiple conversions). There are 454 grams in 1 pound (or more accurately 453.59237 grams). And there are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So all we do is arrange these conversions so the units will cancel leaving ounces. _____ ounces = 48 grams * (1 pound / 453.59237 grams) * (16 ounces / 1 pound) Multiply everything on top and divide everything on bottom like so: (48 * 1 * 16) / (453.59237 * 1) = 768 / 453.59237 = 1.6931502 ounces This method may be overkill for this problem, but it becomes very helpful when you are doing complicated conversions.
