Try 1.5 pounds of dried rice

Here is my thinking.
A pint of water is a pound (a pints a pound the world around, as they say), rice weighs slightly less, and the ratio of rice to water is 2 water to 1 rice.
So you are going to need about a pint and a half of water (about 3 cups, and 1.5 pounds). and about a cup and a half of rice (about half a pound). to get to about 2 pounds cooked rice.
hope this helps.
