Answer
One US cup (236.6 ml) of uncooked white rice weighs 185 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168877 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched”, portion “1 cup” = 185 grams.
2 1/4 cups of uncooked white rice equals 416.3 grams; the way back, from grams to cups, is the Grams to Cups converter.
Cooked white rice weighs 158 grams per cup, so 2 1/4 cups of it is 355.5 grams.
This is the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A recipe written for the metric cup of 250 ml (Australia, New Zealand, Canada) means 5.7 % more: 439.8 grams.
How 2 1/4 cups of uncooked white rice was converted to grams
One US cup of uncooked white rice weighs 185 grams (one hundred eighty-five), so multiply 2 1/4 by 185.
2 1/4 × 185 g
≈416.3 grams
(four hundred sixteen point three grams)
The weight of the cup comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168877 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, raw, enriched”, portion “1 cup” = 185 grams. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a cup weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.

The other way round: how many cups a weight fills
This page starts from cups and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many cups a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to cups converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of uncooked white rice is 0.54 cups there.
