4 ounces is half a cup of cooked rice. This is because 1 ounce is 1/8 of a cup, so four cups would be four times 1/8, which is 1/2.
It's 1 and 1/3 cups
I just measured and weighed 1 cup of dry, uncooked long grain white rice. It weighed 6 oz
one and one half cups
One cup of dry rice weighs 6.9 oz. so 1 pound of dry rice is about 2 1/3 cup. From: http://pages.prodigy.net/jmiller.cb/s810.html
It is about 5 cups + 2/3 cups in total.If you are measuring uncooked rice because you want to have 2 lbs 10 oz of rice after you cook it, then you should make around 3 cups of rice (it generally doubles by cooking it).
There are right at about 2 1/2 cups of uncooked rice in a one pound bag. Perhaps a teaspoon more, but the difference isn't worth mentioning for kitchen work. And don't go asking if that's long grain, short grain, wild, brown, Arborio or anything else. Two and one half cups per pound of uncooked rice. Take it to the kitchen and it will work out every time. Bon Appétit!
4 oz = 1/2 a cup.
8 ounces to a cup so 7/8 of a cup is 7 oz. of rice.
2 oz dry pasta equals one cup cooked pasta.
Depends WHICH pasta. -Pasta has many different weight/volume ratios.
If it's dry macaroni then 70z will be about 2 cups. If cooked, it will be 1 cup.
5/6 cup of white rice. Regular white rice triples in volume when cooked. (5 x 1/2 cups) x 1/ 3 = 5/6 cups Minute rice expands much less. Nine units of minute rice yield 16 units of cooked rice. (5 x 1/2 cup) x 9/16 = 45/32 cups ~ 1 1/2 cups
