Answer 1

450 grams of flour.
1 ounce is = to 28.4 grams
1 pound is equal to 16 ounces.

450 ÷ 28.4 ≈ 15.8
450 grams is about 15.8 ounces
15.8 ≈ 16

There is about 1 pound of flour

Answer 2

Alright, let's take it step by step:

Firstly, we need to convert the weight in grams to the weight in ounces using the conversion factor of 1 ounce/28.4 grams.

So we have 450 grams of flour and we know that each ounce is 28.4 grams. To find the weight in ounces, we do the following multiplication:

450 grams * (1 ounce / 28.4 grams)

Solving this gives us approximately 15.85 ounces.

Now, we have the weight in ounces, but we want it in pounds. We know that 1 pound is made up of 16 ounces. So to convert our measurement to pounds, we use the conversion factor of 1 pound/16 ounces.

We take the weight in ounces and multiply it by the conversion factor:

15.85 ounces * (1 pound / 16 ounces)

After calculating, we get approximately 0.99 pounds.

Therefore, if a recipe calls for 450 grams of flour, this is equivalent to approximately 0.99 pounds.
