Cups to grams, US to UK, and oven temperatures.
Weights for dry ingredients assume you spoon them into the cup and level it off. Scooped flour can weigh 20% more.

Fractions work too: try 1/2 or 1 1/3.

Quick reference
US, UK and Australian measures
A US cup is 236.6 ml; metric cups in the UK, Australia and New Zealand are 250 ml. Teaspoons are 5 ml everywhere, tablespoons are 15 ml except in Australia, where they're 20 ml. A UK pint is 568 ml (20 fl oz), a US pint 473 ml (16 fl oz).
Butter
One US stick is ½ cup, 8 tablespoons or 113 g. A UK block is usually 250 g.
Why weigh instead of measuring cups?
A cup of flour can be anywhere from 115 g to 150 g depending on how it's filled. Weighing removes that guesswork, which matters most for bread and cakes.
