1 packet = 7 g ≈ 2.25 tsp. 1 tsp yeast ≈ 3.1 g.
A US ¼-oz packet of active dry or instant yeast is 7 g, about 2¼ teaspoons. Fresh cake yeast is a different animal (roughly 3× by weight). Instant and active dry substitute 1:1 in most home doughs if you treat the rise time kindly.

- Recipe Scaling FactorWant a 1½× batch? Multiply every gram the same. Yeast and salt scale linearly in home kitchens. Baking powder in a cake that already fills the tin does not — the pan volume is the real limit.
- Salt Pinch to TeaspoonsA kitchen pinch is roughly 1/16 teaspoon — two fingers, not a three-finger grab. Chefs argue. If the soup is for guests, weigh 0.3 g of table salt and stop pretending.
- Teaspoons to MillilitersUS teaspoon is 4.93 mL. Metric baking teaspoons are 5 mL. For medicine, 5 mL is the teaspoon they meant. Do not use a kitchen tea spoon from the drawer; those wander.
- Acres to HectaresUS farm ads in acres, EU paperwork in hectares. Divide acres by 2.471. Ten acres is 4.05 ha. A 160-acre quarter-section is 64.7 ha.
- Acres to Square FeetUS land: one acre is 43,560 ft², a chain-and-furlong leftover that refused to die. A quarter-acre lot is 10,890 ft². Multiply acres by 43,560. Soccer-field metaphors are not a survey.
- Appliance Running CostCost = watts × hours / 1000 × $/kWh. A 1,500 W space heater for 4 hours at $0.16/kWh is $0.96. The supply rate on the bill is the one that matters, not a national average.

A 5K is 5,000 meters, not 5 kilometers on the nose if your watch is sloppy. Divide meters by 1,000. Track races, building plans, and “how far was that hike” all live in this split.
Feet to Meters
Unit Converters
US height, ceiling height, and lumber still arrive in feet. Meter plans do not. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m — not “about a third.” Use this when a listing says 10 ft ceilings and the architect works in meters.
Inches to Centimeters
Unit Converters
Monitor diagonals, waist measurements, and photo prints still come in inches. Clothing charts in Europe come in cm. Multiply inches by 2.54. That factor is exact, not a kitchen guess.
