Cooking for the most part would be fine in grams and is far more effective than anything in Amerikkka

How many teaspoons in a tablespoon?

How many tablespoons in a cup ?

I figure those things out by remembering the (approximate) metric conversions, and I convert US unit recipes in my head while cooking.

1 tsp = 5 mL (or 5 g of something with a density similar to water)
1 tbsp = 15 mL
1 Oz = 30 mL or 30 g
1 cup = 250 mL
1 US quart = 946 mL
1 US gallon = 3.78 L

The latter two I remember to higher precision because of the widespread use of American sized packaging in Canada.

What's cool now is that the kilogramme is officially defined in terms of the Planck Constant, the speed of light and the hyperfine transition frequency of Caesium 133!

It's not a yardstick, it's a very carefully machined metal block called a gauge block (or Jo Block after their inventor.)
