February 20th, 2023
Approximately ##0.035##, or more accurately about ##0.035274##
We can get a rough approximation starting with the facts:
1. One kilogram is about ##2.2## pounds.
2. One pound is ##16## ounces.
3. One kilogram is ##1000## grams.
So the number of ounces in a kilogram is about ##2.2 * 16 = 35.2## and in a gram is therefore about ##35/1000 = 0.035##

For a much more accurate approximation, start with:
1. One pound is exactly ##453.59237## grams.
2. One pound is exactly ##16## ounces.
So the number of grams in an ounce is exactly:
##453.59237 / 16 = 28.349523125##
The number of ounces in a gram is the reciprocal of this:
##1/28.349523125 ~~ 0.035274##
