Answer 1

The mass of the slice of Swiss cheese, converted from grams to ounces, is 0.0184 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the mass from grams to ounces, we can use the conversion factor given: 16 oz = 453.6 g. First, we need to convert the mass of the Swiss cheese from milligrams to grams by dividing 42 mg by 1000. This gives us 0.042 g.
