The short answer: 250 grams comes to 8.818490487 oz. That is 250 multiplied by 0.03527396195, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
250 g is 8.818 oz. In the kitchen that is about 2 US cups of plain flour at 125 g per cup, 1.25 cups of granulated sugar at 200 g, or 250 ml of water — because a millilitre of water weighs a gram, which is the only reason weight and volume line up at all here.
The result sits 0.1815 oz short of 9 oz, so if you need a round figure to quote, 9 oz is the honest nearest one. Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 28 instead of using the exact factor 0.03527396195. At 250 that shortcut gives 8.9285714 ounces, off by 0.1101 ounces or about 1.25%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
