How many grams are in three pounds of silver?

Answer 1

There are plenty of books and websites that list all sorts of conversion factors. Assuming you mean standard avoirdupois pounds (the kind used in normal weighing) and not troy pounds used for some precious metals*, the conversion factor is 1 lb = 453.6 gm, so 3 lb is about 1361 gm. Of course you could also see the same number by looking at, say, a 3 lb package of cookies in the supermarket! * Yet another reason we should join the rest of the world and go metric, but that's another thread.
