My ratios are typically around 1/2.
As a matter of daily routine: I adjust grind as needed to get an extraction whose looks and time taste "right;" measure dose by time rather than weight; and pull the cup according to the appearance of the pour, rather than by how full the cup looks.
The last time I measured, an 8.2s grind netted a 17.3g dose which gave me a 36.7g double following a 27s extraction. It was a nice drink which suited the basket, the beans, and me.
You can use quantified measurement as an aid to brewing, but specific numbers shouldn't be a goal. Don't confuse them with quality in the cup.
