The correct answer is: $17.63698\text{ oz}$
Explanation
Convert grams to ounces using the relation $1\text{ oz} = 28.349523125\text{ g}$ (avoirdupois ounce).
Steps:
- Write the conversion factor: $1\text{ oz} = 28.349523125\text{ g}$, so $1\text{ g} = 0.03527396195\text{ oz}$.
- Multiply: $$500\text{ g} \times 0.03527396195\text{ oz/g} = 17.636980975\text{ oz}$$
- Round as desired: $17.63698\text{ oz}\approx 17.64\text{ oz}$ (to two decimal places).
Therefore, 500 grams ≈ $17.63698\text{ oz}$ (about 17.64 oz).
