How do i measure a single gram with an oz scale?

Question

Please, ive been trying to figure it out and cant seem to.

Answer 1

you cant - you need a metric scale vs. a "standard" scale.

why we call it the "standard" when the US is the ONLY country that DOESNT use the metric system is beyond me.......  

Answer 2

Given your penny test, your ounce balance seems to be off by more than 100%. Your ounce balance may not be accurate enough to weigh a single gram.

A new penny does have a mass of 2.5g and 2.5g is 0.088 ounces. Obviously 0.10 ounces is quite different from 0.088 ounces.

Answer 3

you dont.

you need a more acurate scale

Answer 4

If you have a scale that reads hundredths of an ounce, then you might stand a chance.  One gram = 0.03527392 ounce.
