To convert 56 grams to ounces, we must first consider the conversion factor established by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) between grams and ounces. Specifically, 1 ounce is defined as equal to 28.3495 grams.
With this relationship established, we can proceed with the conversion. To find out how many ounces are in 56 grams, we divide the number of grams by the number of ounces corresponding to each gram. That is, we take the following mathematical expression:
56 g * (1 ounce / 28.3495 g) = ounces
Now, let's perform the calculation:
56 * (1 / 28.3495) ≈ 1.97534 oz
Therefore, 56 grams is approximately 1.97534 ounces.
