If I know the gms or ounce, then I can measure it out.

You use a Measuring Cup. 1 cup is a standard unit of measure. they make measuring cups in 1/4,1/3, 1/2, 1 cup measurements.

No, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven
