Hundredweight (UK)
The hundredweight (UK) is a unit of mass used in the United Kingdom, primarily in agriculture and industry. It is equal to 112 pounds or approximately 50.8 kilograms. The hundredweight is part of the British Imperial system and is used to measure bulk commodities like grain and livestock.
The hundredweight originated in medieval England as a unit of mass for measuring grain and other agricultural products. It was defined as 112 pounds. The term "hundredweight" comes from the Latin word "centum", meaning "hundred". The hundredweight was used in trade and agriculture for centuries and continues to be used in the UK as part of the British Imperial system.
Ounce
The ounce (oz) is a unit of mass or weight used in both the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 1/16 of a pound or approximately 28.3495 grams. The ounce is commonly used to measure small quantities of food, beverages, and precious metals.
The ounce traces its origins to ancient Roman times, where it was based on the uncia, which was 1/12 of a Roman pound (libra). The term "ounce" comes from the Latin "uncia", meaning one-twelfth. In medieval Europe, the ounce evolved as a standardized unit of weight, especially in trade. By the 14th century, the Avoirdupois ounce became the standard for most goods in England, which is equivalent to about 28.35 grams. This measurement was later adopted in the United States and other countries using the imperial system.
