What is ounces?

Ounces (oz) are a unit of weight or mass in the imperial system, particularly in the United States. One ounce is equivalent to 1/16th of a pound.

To give you a better idea, here's how ounces relate to other units:

• 1 ounce = 28.35 grams
• 16 ounces (oz) = 1 pound (lb)

Ounces are commonly used in various contexts, such as:

• Measuring the weight of food or liquids (e.g., a bottle of juice might be labeled with its volume in ounces).
• Weighing small objects or quantities (e.g., a bag of coffee beans might weigh several ounces).
• Describing the size of medications or supplements (e.g., an antibiotic tablet might be 100 mg, which is equivalent to about 3.5 oz).
