ounces/linear yd -> grams/linear meter

hi -
i need to convert ounces per linear yard to grams per linear meter (and the reverse). i've tried searching the forum already, but haven't found anything relevant..
i think i've got this worked out, but i can't find anything to compare my results with, so it's a little hard to be sure i'm right. :)
what i'm doing is this: ( oz per lin yd * 28.3495 ) * 0.9144 = gm per lin mt
for example, a fabric that's 23.75 oz/lin yd would end up as 615.6660915 gm/lin mt.
does my math work, or should i be doing this differently?
thanks - justin

To calculate the conversion factor, you start with the basic units.
For this: ounces/yard to grams/meter
You would use this formula: (ounces to grams)/(yard to meter)
You need to know this: ounces to grams yards to meters
1 ounce = 28.349523125 gram 1 yard = 0.9144 meter
Now calculate: ounce/yard * (28.349523125/0.9144) = gram/meter
Your conversion factor is 31.0034154910324, which we can just round to 31.
