if you want to cook rice as how Filipinos eat rice, then the ratio is 1:1... turn down fire or heat to a minimum when you dont see water on top of cooked rice.... remaining water in below the surface will be enough to fully cook the grains.
2-4 cups to 1 cup of rice grains makes "lugaw"... that's a soup like consistency.

Answer:
After you wash the rice a few times to remove the fines, dust and loose starch (stops it from being sticky when cooked) there is some water left with it. Add 2.5 times the amount of water per measure of rice. After cooking the rice will still be moist. Let it sit and it will absorb the residual water.
The length of time you cook any volume of rice depends on the type of rice. If it is the typical 20-minute rice, you would cook it for 20 minutes. If it is a quick type of rice, you'd cook it 5 minutes or whatever time it says. The time you cook rice also depends on other factors such as altitude, whether the correct lid is used on the pot, etc. If you have a loose lid, for instance, you may have to add more water and cooking time.
Under perfect conditions, following the instructions on the bag should work, and you shouldn't remove the lid since that evaporates some of the water and may make it harder. But if it turns out to be sticky or runny (too much water content) or hard and dry (not enough water content), adjustments to the cooking time and/or amount of water may be necessary.
About one and a third cups ought to do it. It will expand three times the volume. Brown rice usually takes 45 minutes to an hour to cook.
8 cups of water
nothing
1.5 to 2 cups, depending on the rice

One kilogram of rice equals about five cups of rice. Using a two to one formula, 10 cups of water would be needed to cook the rice.
It is a 2-1 ratio. So if you have 1 cup of rice its 2 cups of water. If you have 5 cups of rice its 10 cups of water. etc
For every one-and-a-half cups of rice, I add two cups of water.
2 cups
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.
If you are using basic white rice, 1/2 fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Pour 1-3 cups of rice in and when boiling point is reached, reduce heat. Keep on a low boil for 10 minutes exactly. Decant rice into a sieve and drain it . It will be near perfect.
2 Cups of uncooked rice, combined with 4 cups of water during cooking will yield 6 cups of cooked rice. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_cups_of_uncooked_rice_makes_two_cups_of_cooked_rice
