Shrimp are actually grouped by size. When you see a 16/20 on a frozen bag of shrimp, it means there are between 16-20 per pound. So in general, how many shrimp per pound would depend entirely on the size of the shrimp in question.
Carrots do not swell or shrink when cooked. So 1 cup of raw carrot is the same as 1 cup cooked carrot.
The IE pair in yield has a long E sound. It rhymes with field and peeled.
A 3 pound lobster will yield 3 pounds of meat.
16 ounces16 ounces in a pound of anything.

Edible portion refers to the amount that can actually be eaten, after trimming and cooking. For example, 1 pound of raw ground beef will not give you one pound of cooked ground beef; some of that weight will be lost in the cooking process as moisture and fat cook out. 1 pound (16 oz) of raw ground beef will yield about 13 oz of cooked ground beef.
The number of limes in a pound can vary based on their size. On average, there are about 4 to 6 medium-sized limes in a pound. Smaller limes may yield more per pound, while larger ones will yield fewer.
Three medium potatoes equal about 1 pound. One pound of potatoes will yield 3 cups peeled and sliced; 2 1/4 cups peeled and diced; 2 cups mashed; or 2 cups of french fries. (Answer found on North Carolina Potato Association website)
A pound of soybeans will yield about 20% of oil by weight, or 3.2 ounces.
It depends if the rice is cooked or uncooked, as cooked rice will contain a lot of water and be more dense than uncooked rice. A pound of uncooked rice will yield about 3 times as many cups once it has been cooked than before it was cooked, but will also weigh more than three pounds. A cup of pure water (8 fluid ounces) weighs about 8.34+ ounces (weight), so 2 cups of water would weigh about 16.69 ounces or 1.043 pounds. Which means a pound of water yields 1.918 cups. (at 4 degrees Celsius) The density of water is 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter. The density of rice (hulled) is approximately 753 kilograms per cubic meter. So a pound of uncooked rice, being less dense than water, should yield approximately 2.55 cups. Once cooked that same pound of rice (at a ratio of 2 cups water to one cup rice) would weigh almost 3.66 pounds. Assuming no water is lost during cooking. Assuming my math is correct, it may not be. It is not possible to accurately calculate the number of cups this will yield - but it is likely to be about 6 cups or more. One needs to cook a pound of rice and measure the volume.
