Ahh but what if your scales were bust and you needed 400ml
and only had an exactly 500ml and exactly 300ml container.
Could you do it? and would it be more accurate?

hmm
First you fill the 300ml container and pour the contents into the 500ml container. Then you refill the 300ml and pour into the 500ml until it is full. This should leave you with 100ml.

This wouldn't be very accurate
if you were trying to perform this procedure during your first horse riding lesson and your horse has just been spooked and is now in full gallop towards some trees.

What then eh?
