Answer
One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of cooked white rice weighs 9.88 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168878 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked”, portion “1 cup” = 158 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
9 tablespoons of cooked white rice equals 88.9 grams; the way back, from grams to tablespoons, is the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
Uncooked white rice weighs 11.6 grams per tablespoon, so 9 tablespoons of it is 104.1 grams.
9 US tablespoons of cooked white rice is also 0.5625 US cups or 27 US teaspoons — the same 88.9 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 120.2 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 90.2 grams.
How 9 tablespoons of cooked white rice was converted to grams

9 × 9.875 g
≈88.9 grams
(eighty-eight point nine grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168878 “Rice, white, long-grain, regular, enriched, cooked”, portion “1 cup” = 158 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon 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 tablespoons a weight fills
This page starts from tablespoons and answers in grams. The opposite question — how many tablespoons a weight from a recipe fills — is what the grams to tablespoons converter is for. Both read the same USDA weights, so their numbers agree: 100 grams of cooked white rice is 10.1 tablespoons there.
