What is a talent in Biblical Hebrew terms?

It is an ancient unit of mass used mainly in Israel and the Near East to measure large weights of precious metals and bulk goods, traditionally equal to 3,000 shekels and approximately 34 kilograms.

What defines the UK hundredweight?

The UK hundredweight, also called the long hundredweight, is an imperial unit of mass equal to 112 avoirdupois pounds or about 50.8 kilograms, used notably in British commercial agriculture and shipping.

Why might conversions between these units be approximate?

Because the Biblical Hebrew talent’s exact value varied historically and regionally, and the hundredweight (UK) unit differs from other hundredweight standards, so conversions are mainly for comparative and historical use.
