About Ounce
The avoirdupois ounce is 1/16 of an avoirdupois pound (about 28.35 g). Cooking and postal weights often use ounces.
How to convert hundredweight (us) to ounces
1 hundredweight (us) is equal to 1600 ounce:
1 cwt_us = (45359.237 g ÷ 28.349523125 g) oz = 1600 oz
Each hundredweight (us) is defined as 45359.237 g and each ounce as 28.349523125 g, so one cwt_us equals 45359.237 ÷ 28.349523125 oz = 1600 oz.
Let w(cwt_us) be the numeric value of the same mass measured in Hundredweight (US) (cwt_us), and w(oz) the value in Ounce (oz). Then:
w(oz) = w(cwt_us) × (45359.237 / 28.349523125)
Equivalently, divide by how many cwt_us fit into one oz (grams per oz divided by grams per cwt_us):
w(oz) = w(cwt_us) ÷ 0.000625
Or: ounce = hundredweight (us) ÷ 0.000625
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 cwt_us to ounce
20 cwt_us = 20 cwt_us × (45359.237/28.349523125) oz = 32000 oz
20 cwt_us = 20 cwt_us ÷ 0.000625 = 32000 oz
Example #2: Convert 50 cwt_us to ounce
50 cwt_us = 50 cwt_us × (45359.237/28.349523125) oz = 80000 oz
50 cwt_us = 50 cwt_us ÷ 0.000625 = 80000 oz
Summary
To convert Hundredweight (US) to Ounce, multiply the value in cwt_us by the ratio of grams per cwt_us divided by grams per oz. Equivalently: value_oz = value_cwt_us × (45359.237 / 28.349523125). Numerically, 1 cwt_us equals 1600 oz.
