Divide 1 pound by the density factor to get the volume in US cups.

Weight ÷ Density × Unit Factor = Volume

1 pound ÷ 0.845 g/ml × conversion factor = 2.27 US cups

Step 3: Get the result

1 pound of rice equals 2.27 US cups.

Notes on ingredient measurements

It is a bit tricky to get an accurate food conversion since its characteristics change according to humidity, temperature, or how well packed the ingredient is. Ingredients that contain the terms sliced, minced, diced, crushed, chopped add uncertainties to the measurements. A good practice is to measure ingredients by weight, not by volume so that the error is decreased.
