➤ Why convert through grams instead of converting ounces directly to milligrams?
Grams are the SI base unit for mass and simplify conversions because metric prefixes scale by powers of ten. Converting oz → g uses a standard factor (28.3495 g/oz); then g → mg is a simple ×1,000. This two-step approach reduces errors and makes dimensional analysis and scientific notation easier to apply.
