Most ratios that refer to incubation meduims is by wieght. You would need a scale. say you have 5 grams of perlite, you would ad 5 grams of water to that to get a 1:1 ratio by wieght. I don't bother with any of that, I just ad water to the perlite until it just starts to clump and it's ready for eggs.
good luck
