This is raw, uncooked long-grain white rice. Cooked rice has soaked up water and weighs something else per cup: do not use these numbers for cooked rice.

Where this number comes from

USDA FoodData Central lists 1 cup of “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched” at 185 g (FDC ID 168877, SR Legacy).

Everything else is worked out from that figure: spoons from 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons, and ounces and pounds from their exact definitions (1 oz = 28.349523125 g, 1 lb = 453.59237 g, NIST).
