○ 0.0353 grams
○ 0.9647 grams
○ 28.3 grams
○ 453.3 grams

Explanation:

Step1: Set up conversion equation

Let $x$ = grams per ounce. We know $1\ \text{gram} = 0.0353\ \text{ounces}$, so:
$$1\ \text{gram} = 0.0353x^{-1} \times x$$
Rearranged to solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{1}{0.0353}$$

Step2: Calculate the value

$$x = \frac{1}{0.0353} \approx 28.3286$$

Step3: Round to nearest tenth

Round 28.3286 to one decimal place:
$$x \approx 28.3$$

Answer:

28.3 grams
