The weight conversions for this chart and for most of Cookipedia are rounded to the nearest usable amount (eg: 40g is rounded to 1.5 oz whereas it is actually 1.41095847798322 oz). Most conversions don't round to convenient figures.  For culinary purposes, this make little or no difference. If however you do need exact conversions or conversions that are not covered by this chart, there are useful '''[https://www.conversion-converter-calculator.com/what-is-752-grams-in-pounds-and-ounces.html interactive weight converters here][https://grams-to-pounds-and-ounces.co.uk/ and here]'''.  They are accurate to 10 decimal places and cover all many common conversions.

Don't forget that for culinary purposes millilitres (ml) is equal to grams (g) when measuring out most liquids.  Try it out next time you need to accurately add a measured amount of liquid; [[breadmaking]] is a great example.
