You usually don’t convert the units in the day to day. Either something is a few inches, a few feet, or a mile away. Construction workers can usually measure stuff out by hand (literally) if they’re doing stuff like framing.
A cup of water is quite literally a standard cup size. Any modern recipe will just be like “2 ¼ cups of milk”

Sorry but cups seem to mainly be a Usian thing. As far as I’m aware most of the world uses actual metric measures, grams, ml and sometimes tbsp and tsp.
