What is a Ounce?
The avoirdupois ounce equals 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams, used in the United States for food products, postal weights, and retail measurements. It differs from the troy ounce (31.1035 g) used for precious metals such as gold and silver. The word 'ounce' comes from the Latin 'uncia,' meaning one twelfth (its fraction in the earlier Roman system). A standard slice of sandwich bread weighs approximately 28–30 grams, or about 1 ounce.
What is a Milligram?
The milligram is one thousandth of a gram, or one millionth of a kilogram — the standard unit for pharmaceutical dosages and trace quantities of substances. Equal to approximately 0.0000353 ounces, it is too small to perceive by touch. Medical prescriptions and nutritional supplement labels list active ingredient amounts in milligrams. A standard 325 mg aspirin tablet weighs about the same as a small grain of sand.
