YES---1 (0.6 ounce) cube of Fresh Compressed/Cake Yeast equals 1 envelope (or packet) of Active Dry Yeast, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, Fast Rising or Bread Machine Yeast, which equals 2 1/4 teaspoons or 7 grams (11 mL).

Yes, but cake yeast does not last as long as the stuff in the envelope. Always make sure you check the expiration date!

Yes, the envelope contains an equivalent amount of dry yeast which you can activate with warm water and a little sugar.
