Question 190463: use the following equivalents, along with dimensional analysis, to convert the given unit to the unit indicated. When necessary, round to two decimal places.
16 oz = 1 lb
2000 lb = 1 T
1 oz = 28 g
1 lb = 0.45 kg
1 T = 0.9 t
PROBLEM
26 oz to g

Answer by vleith(2983) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are told 1 oz = 28 g , so the conversion between grams and ounces is 28g%2F1oz
You are then asked to convert 26 oz into grams.
26oz+%2A+28g%2Foz+=+728g
Note that when you look at the equation above, the "oz" units cancel jus the same way numbers do. That is, oz/oz = 1 -- so you can 'cancel' it.
