Convert yellow onion weight to grams

Using the Unit Conversion and Dimensional Analysis knowledge points
\[
W_{\text{yellow}} = 0.59\text{ lb} \times 453.5924\text{ g/lb} \approx 267.6195\text{ g}
\]

Compare weights to find the heavier onion

Using the Unit Conversion knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &W_{\text{yellow}} \approx 267.62\text{ g}\\ &W_{\text{red}} = 208.65\text{ g}\\ &W_{\text{yellow}} > W_{\text{red}} \end{aligned}$$

\]
The yellow onion is heavier.

Calculate the weight difference in grams

Using the Unit Conversion knowledge point
\[
\Delta W_{\text{g}} = 267.6195\text{ g} - 208.65\text{ g} = 58.9695\text{ g}
\]

Convert the weight difference to ounces

Using the Unit Conversion and Dimensional Analysis knowledge points
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\Delta W_{\text{lb}} = \frac{58.9695\text{ g}}{453.5924\text{ g/lb}} \approx 0.1300\text{ lb}\\ &\Delta W_{\text{oz}} = 0.1300\text{ lb} \times 16\text{ oz/lb} \approx 2.08\text{ oz} \end{aligned}$$

\]
The yellow onion is 2.08 ounces heavier than the red onion.
