Explanation:

Step1: Know the conversion of pounds to grams

We know that 1 lb = 453.592 g.

Step2: Use the relation between pounds and ounces

Since 1 lb = 16 oz and 1 lb = 453.592 g, then 16 oz = 453.592 g.

Step3: Calculate grams per ounce

To find the grams in 1 oz, we divide the number of grams in a pound by the number of ounces in a pound. So, $1\ oz=\frac{453.592}{16}\ g$.
$1\ oz = 28.35\ g$ (rounded to four - significant figures)

Answer:

28.35
