To convert ounces to grams, you can use the conversion factor that 1 ounce is approximately equal to 28.3495 grams.
Given that the tool weighs 5 ounces, you can calculate the weight in grams as follows:
\[
\text{Weight in grams} = 5 \, \text{oz} \times 28.3495 \, \text{g/oz}
\]
Calculating this:
\[
\text{Weight in grams} = 5 \times 28.3495 = 141.7475 \, \text{g}
\]
Now, rounding to the nearest hundredth:
\[
\text{Weight in grams} \approx 141.75 \, \text{g}
\]
So, the tool weighs **141.75 grams**.
