It may seem like an impossible task to gauge the weight of something without a scale? For instance, how heavy is 10 grams actually? It’s the same as 0.35274 ounces, but that doesn’t help much. To get a better idea of how heavy 10 grams is, you can use everyday objects as references.

If you’re in a part of the world that measures weight in ounces and pounds, then you’ll probably have a difficult time figuring out what 15 kilograms is. There’s a simple formula for that—1 kilogram is the same as 2.20462 pounds. So, 15 kilograms is equal to 33.0693 pounds! Something we Standard Imperial users have in common with metric users is not knowing what 15 kilograms feels like.
