Converting Masses Word Problems
This page presents conversions of mass measures between the English
(pounds and ounces) and the metric (grams, etc). It will help you with
both your math skills and you understanding of both systems of measure.The
solutions presented on this page utilize a very limited set of conversion
factors and a single "bridge" between the English and metric
systems(1.00pounds=454g)
Thus, the solution described is not the only one possible, by any means.
