Or from page 126 of Handcrafted Soap by Delores Boone, here is a conversion chart for the most commonly used conversions:

kilograms to pounds multiply by 2.2
ounces to grams multiply by 28.4
grams to ounces multiply by 0.04
fluid ounces to milliliters multiply by 29.57
milliliters to fluid ounces multiply by 0.034
