Explanation
The question states that lead weights for sea fishing are traditionally sold in ounce weights. The UK uses metric weights as legal metrology, so a 150g lead weight would need to be converted to ounces. To convert grams to ounces, we can use the conversion factor of 1 ounce = 28.35 grams. Therefore, 150g is approximately equal to 5.29 ounces.
