Instant yeast is another type of dry yeast that was introduced after active dry yeast in the 1970s. It is made using a similar process as active dry yeast, although is dried more quickly. As you can see, this yeast is also milled into finer particles. Because of this, it dissolves faster and activates quickly. But unlike active dry yeast, instant yeast doesn't have to be proofed first; it can be mixed straight into the dry ingredients with the same result. This yeast also gives you two separate rises and it can be used interchangeably with active dry yeast.
You can use active dry yeast as a substitute for instant dry yeast. However, you will need to dissolve it in warm water before adding it to your recipe. Another option is using fresh yeast, but be sure to adjust the quantity as it is not as concentrated as dry yeast.
To convert active dry yeast to instant yeast, you need to use 25% less instant yeast. Therefore, if a recipe calls for 7 grams of active dry yeast, you would use around 5.25 grams of instant yeast. This conversion is due to the differences in moisture content and particle size between the two types of yeast. It's important to note that these measurements are approximate and may require slight adjustments based on the specific brand and batch of yeast being used.

Fresh compressed yeast has half of the rising power of dry. You can cut the amount in the recipe by half or double it depending on what you have and what the recipe calls for. (Note: Most cookbooks for home use refer to dry yeast for recipes unless otherwise stated in the recipe or Preface)
Just use one packet of whatever you have - all of the packets contain the same amount. Active Dry Yeast, Instant Yeast, Rapid Rise Yeast, Fast Rising Yeast or Bread Machine Yeast are all the same. They just have different names. If your yeast is in a jar - use one level teaspoon.

Packaging. There is a difference though between dry yeast and rapid rise yeast. Dry or active dry yeast should be proofed (checked to see if still alive) first. Rapid rise yeast can be mixed with the dry ingredients. Follow the package directions.
If by dried you mean instant dry active you would use half the amount. So 7.5 grams.
One gram of active dry yeast is equivalent to 0.35 teaspoons of dry yeast in volume. Thus five grams of dry yeast is equal to 1.76 teaspoons of dry yeast.
Regardless of the form, yeast should always be started in a liquid before adding it to what you are making. Gets it started working and makes it easier to distribute in the mix.
