pro tips
Rough math: divide by 35. 70 oz is about 2 kg.
16 oz is 0.454 kg — one pound, said in the other language.
A 35 oz jar of something is a hair under a kilo, which is why the label rounds.
what it does
One ounce is 0.02835 kilograms. The trick is dividing by 35.27 — do it once and the kilos appear, which is the number a shipping form actually wants instead of the imperial flattery on the box.
It shows up at the post office, where a US label in ounces meets a European form in kilograms, in recipes imported from a site that measures seasoning in ounces, and in any kitchen scale that toggles between grams, ounces and kilos and quietly expects you to keep up.
The rough version divides by 35: 70 oz is about 2 kg, 16 oz is about 0.45 kg (a pound, wearing metric clothes). Good enough for a suitcase, not quite good enough for the airline that weighs it.
