One serving of cooked rice is a 1/2 cup. Because 1 cup of raw rice makes 3 cups cooked, then 8 teaspoons (1/6 of a cup) of raw rice equals a 1/2 cup serving of cooked rice.
All you need is about 1/2 a cup of rice to make one cup. Because it doubles in size.

Rice absorbs twice its own volume of water in the cooking process so 1.25 cups of dry rice will make 3.75 cups of cooked rice.
Two and a half ounces of dry rice is equal to a single serving. Therefore, ten pounds of dry rice would make sixty-four servings.
Rice absorbs twice its own volume of water during the cooking process. So 1 cup if dry rice will make 3 cups of cooked rice. ------------------------------------------------- 1 metric cup = 1/4 liter or 250 centiliters The density of water = 1 and therefore 1 cup will weigh 250 grams There will be 225 grams of dry rice in one (metric cup) because (rice density is about 0.9 g/cm³) This means that one cooked 1 metric cup of dry rice will weigh 725 grams. Therefore (100/725)*225 = 31 grams of dried rice will make 100 grams of cooked rice.
Most packages have good instructions and will produce good rice if followed. Starch makes rice sticky, so some rice needs to be rinsed. Also, cook with less water if its has been coming out sticky. For jasmine rice, do not use more than 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup of dry rice; use 1 cup of water to 1 cup of rinsed rice.
If it's a side dish I'd think half cup per person (half cup dry rice + half cup water) if it's a main dish at least a cup per person. But that's a rough guess

Use dry measure measuring cup.

I steam rice using 1 cup uncooked rice to 1 cup water = 3 cups cooked rice. Exception: when cooking wild rice I use 1-1/4 cup water. Found this useful website that gives yields of uncooked to cooked of many foods: http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0563_01.htm
4, half a cup each person and 8 cups of water
One pound of rice makes ten 3/4 cup servings (1/4 cup dry, 3/4 cup cooked). So, for 400 people, you would need 40 pounds of rice for 400 people, if the serving size is the average 3/4 cup portion. If you want to allow 1 cup per serving, you would need to increase the amount of dry rice by 25%, which would be 50 pounds of rice.
