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.
