Pretty much anything where you need to measure, except for engineering and architecture.  (Well, and science.)\n\nEasiest example; weigh that letter you are about to send.  It weighs .09283765 ounces, right?  Who cares?  It's "less than 2 ounces" and that's all that matters.

here is what I though your mom could pick:\n\na million\n\na magnum\n\na mace- (a traditional Chinese unit for weighing precious metals, especially silver.  This would be 2/15 ounce or about 3.78 grams.)\n\nmomme- a traditional Japanese weight unit corresponding to the Chinese mace (see above).  The unit is commonly pronounced "mommy" in English. \n\nmetric hundredweight- an informal unit of mass equal to 50 kilograms or approximately 110.231 pounds\n\nmahnd- a traditional Arab weight unit equal to about 2.04 pounds \n\nMgd- an abbreviation for millions of gallons per day \n(Mgal/d), a unit used in reservoir management to express the rate at which water is withdrawn, or could be withdrawn, for drinking or for some other purpose.\n\nmillimass unit\n\nmina- a historic unit of weight, originating in Babylonia and used throughout the eastern Mediterranean. The mina is roughly comparable to the pound, but over the centuries it varied quite a bit. In Babylonian times it was a large unit, roughly 2 pounds, almost as much as a kilogram. The Hebrew mina, frequently mentioned in the Bible, is estimated at 499 grams \n\nmyriagram (myg)- a metric unit of mass equal to 10 000 grams or 10 kilograms \n\nmilliliter (ml or mL)- a very common metric unit of volume\n\nmiddy- an informal unit of volume for beer used in many Australian pubs\n\nmilliard- a unit of volume used by engineers to describe a large quantity of water.\n\nmetric pound- an informal name for a mass of 500 grams \n\nmaß (mass)- a unit of volume for beer in Germany and Austria, usually equal to one liter today.\nmarc, marco, or mark- traditional units of weight in various countries of Western Europe\n\nmandel- a traditional German unit of quantity equal to 15.\n\na mole\n\na millogram\n\na minex\n\na microgram\n\na magnitude\n\nmegatonne (Mt)- a metric unit of mass or weight equal to one million metric tons\n\nmease- a unit of quantity formerly used by fishermen.

Troy weight was so named from Troyes in France where it was first adopted in Europe. The Troy Ounce is supposed to have been brought from Cairo during the crusades. One Troy ounce is about 10% heavier than the common Avoirdupois ounce. Avoirdupois is the system of weights using the pound of 16 ounces. Troy weight is the system of weights used for Gold, Silver and Jewels with twelve ounces to the pound.

Physics, major science dealing with the fundamental constituents of the universe, the forces they exert on one another, and the effects of these forces. \n\nMeasurement, finding the size or amount of some quantity, and expressing it as a number of defined units.All measurement is based on a comparison. In general, the thing to be measured is compared with something that has already been calibrated, or measured against a known reference. However, a measurement is not complete unless it includes a statement of its uncertainty, or the confidence one can have in it.\nUnits of Weight and Measurement\nImperial System\nAMOUNT NAME \nAngular or Circular Measure \n60 seconds = 1 minute (min) \n60 minutes = 1 degree \n30 degrees = 1 zodiac sign \n57.2958 degrees = 1 radian \n90 degrees = 1 quadrant or right angle \n360 degrees = 1 circle \nCubic Measure (Volume) \n1,728 cubic inches (cu in) = 1 cubic foot (cu ft) \n27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard (cu yd) \n231 cubic inches = 1 US gallon (gal) \n277.27 cubic inches = 1 British imperial gallon (i gal) \n2,150.42 cubic inches = 1 US bushel (bu) \n2,219.36 cubic inches = 1 British imperial bushel (i bu) \nDry Measure (Capacity) \n2 pints = 1 quart \n8 quarts = 1 peck (pk) \n4 pecks = 1 bushel \nLinear Measure (Length) \n1,000 mils = 1 inch (in) \n12 inches = 1 foot (ft) \n3 feet = 1 yard (yd) \n5.5 yards = 1 rod (rd) \n40 rods = 1 furlong (fur) \n8 furlongs = 1 mile (mi) \n5,280 feet = 1 mile \n3 miles = 1 league (l) \nLiquid Measure (Capacity) \n4 fluid ounces (fl oz) = 1 gill (gi) \n4 gills = 1 pint (pt) \n2 pints = 1 quart (qt) \n4 quarts = 1 gallon (gal) \nMariners’ Measure \n6 feet = 1 fathom (fath) \n120 fathoms = 1 cable’s length (US Navy) \n1,852 metres = 1 nautical mile (n mi) \n1 nautical mile per hour (n mph) = 1 knot (k) \nPaper Measure \n25 sheets = 1 quire (qr) \n20 quires = 1 standard ream (rm) \n516 sheets = 1 printers’ ream \n2 reams = 1 bundle (bdl) \n4 bundles = 1 case (c) \nPrinters’ Measure (Typography) \n0.013837 inches = 1 point \n12 points = 1 pica \nSquare Measure (Area) \n144 square inches (sq in) = 1 square foot (sq ft) \n9 square feet = 1 square yard (sq yd) \n30.25 square yards = 1 square rod (sq rd) \n160 square rods = 1 acre \n640 acres = 1 square mile (sq mi) \nSurveyors’ Measure \n7.92 inches = 1 link (li) \n66 feet = 1 chain \n80 chains = 1 mile \nWood Measure \n144 cubic inches (1' x 1' x 1'') = 1 board foot (bd ft) \n16 cubic feet (4' x 4' x 1') = 1 cord foot (cd ft) \n8 cord feet = 1 cord (cd) \nWEIGHTS \nWeight (Apothecaries’) \n20 grains = 1 scruple (s ap) \n3 scruples = 1 dram (dr ap) \n8 drams = 1 ounce (oz ap) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb ap) \nWeight (Avoirdupois) \n27.3438 grains = 1 dram (dr) \n16 drams = 1 ounce (oz) \n16 ounces = 1 pound (lb) \n14 pounds = 1 stone \n100 pounds = 1 hundredweight (cwt) \n8 stones = 1 long hundredweight \n(l cwt) \n2,000 pounds = 1 short ton (ST) \n2,240 pounds = 1 long ton (LT) or 20 (l cwt) \nWeight (Troy) \n24 grains = 1 pennyweight (dwt) \n20 pennyweights = 1 ounce (oz t) \n12 ounces = 1 pound (lb t) \n\nMiscellaneous Units\nWEIGHT/MEASURE UNITS \nAbsolute zero = -273.15o C (-459.67o F) \n1 atmosphere = 760 mm of mercury \n1 cup = 10 fluid ounces \n1 carat (international) = 200 milligrams (gem weight) \n1 megaton = 1,000,000 tons \n3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon \n1 angstrom unit = 0.1 nanometre \n1 bolt of cloth = 40 yards \n1 gross = 12 dozen, or 144 \n1 light-year = 9.46 x 1012 km \n(5.88 x 1012 mi) \n1 tablespoon = 1/2 fluid ounce

What you really want is to convert grams (metric system) to ounces or pounds, no matter what the item is.\n\nOne pound has 454 grams\nOne ounce has 28.375 grams\nOne pound has 16 ounces\nOne kilogram has 1,000 grams and it is equivalent to 2.205 pounds\n\n12 grams is a little less than half an ounce.

12 troy ounces = 1 troy pound, but that is not the kind of pound you are used to using.\n\n1 troy ounce is exactly 31.103 476 8 grams, about 10 percent more than the avoirdupois ounce (which is the kind of ounce you are used to using in the U.S.)\n\nThere are 14.58333 troy ounces (ozt) to an avoirdupois pound (lb) and 32.1505 ozt to 1 kg.

You may be surprised to find that there are several different pounds. The most common is the Avoirdupois Pound which is equal to 16 ounces. This is the pound that is used for almost all mass measurements in the United States.\n\nOthers include the Apothecaries' and Troy pound which are both equal to 12 ounces. The Apothecary pound was used chiefly in the pharmacuetical industry but is not used much anymore (only the "grain", an apothecary unit of mass is still used from time to time). The Troy pound is used to measure the weight of precious gems and metals. Although most people rarely have the oppportunity to buy gold in Troy pounds as gold is not often available in such large quantities in buillon form, they certainly can buy gold in Troy ounces much more readily.

well there are 28 grams in an ounce. so multiply that by 16. (for 16 oz.) 448 grams in a lb. I am not sure what you really need to know but this is all I can tell you

The previous answer is not quite true. Indeed they are not the same. Weight is a measure of force, whereas mass is mass.\nHowever, you do not weigh the same everywhere on earth, although you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.\nYour weight at the top of everest, for example, is less than at sea level, because the force being exerted on you by gravity is less, allbeit only by a small amount.\nAlso, weight is a unit of force, whereas mass is not.\nMy weight may be 100kg, but my mass is (approx) 980N (at sea level), so weight and mass are actually never equal
