All sorted out for me when I discovered, in a US recipe, that a US cup of
rice weighs 95g. If you have one of these new-fangled digital kitchen
scales thats useful to know.

That certainly makes a sensible serving per person, but one of my UK
teacups is only a little more than half full with that weight of rice in
it.

I've never driven a car that showed litres per km: my oldish Focus lets
me select MPG or litres/100 km but that's it. L/100km is probably the
more useful way of showing fuel consumption if you're used to it, but the
car's guestimate of miles or km left in the tank can be even more useful.
