Getting a feel for the scale
A converted number is easier to trust when you can picture it. These reference points let you sanity-check the result at a glance.
Ounce (oz)
- A slice of bread is about 1 oz
- A tennis ball is roughly 2 oz
Common mistakes to avoid
- Dividing when you should multiply. Because 1 metric ton = 35,274 ounces, the answer should be larger than the number you started with.
- Confusing the fluid ounce (a volume) with the ounce (a weight). They are different quantities and only coincide for water by rough approximation.
- Assuming there is only one ton. The US short ton, the Imperial long ton and the metric tonne differ by up to 12%.
- Rounding too early. Convert first at full precision, then round the final answer to the precision the task actually needs.
How precise does the answer need to be?
Kitchen scales resolve to about 1 g or 0.1 oz, so two significant figures beyond the decimal point is wasted precision. Postage and freight are normally rounded up to the next billing increment.
How these units are defined
- Metric ton (t): 1,000 kilograms, also called a tonne. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
- Ounce (oz): The avoirdupois ounce: one sixteenth of a pound. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
