anonymous · Answer

i need a formula .. bcuz i dont have any idea how to  do that

compphysgeek · Answer

if it's really 0.25 grams than the formula is similar to all the others that we used so far 
$$ 0.25\,g \times \frac{1 lb}{453.6\,g} = 5.51×10^{-4}\,lb $$
that seems to be very light

compphysgeek · Answer

unless I got the information wrong. In the formular to start with what you've got, grams in this case, you multiply with the conversion factor, the grams cancel out and you're left with pounds, what you were looking for.
