Substitutions to use Fresh Yeast where Instant or Active Dry is Specified

The bread recipes I encounter most often assume the baker does not have fresh yeast. Because I have a ready supply of fresh yeast, I use it. To substitute:
  1. Instant yeast is 40% of fresh yeast
  2. Active dry is 50% of fresh yeast, but requires hydration
Thanks, Stan, for this info ...
