Measure the total cups in the tub....





Half that to get the rice measurement.





Double it to get the water measurement.


Don't forget...probably a half cup of salt...(a pinch for each 2 cups!)





But, for the life of me I have no idea why would would want to do that!How many cups of rice would be needed to fill a bath tub?
you must like rice a lot.
i don't know, but it takes 100 plus boxes of jello.
well i would say about 750 cups of rice and 375 cups of water
cooked or uncooked rice?
Cooked or un -cooked ?


A standard bath tub is 5x2x2 or 20 cu ft


There are approximatley 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot


therefore a bath tubs gross volume is 150 gallons . If we reduce that by 10 % to allow for the actual shape , the result is 135 gallons @ 16c per gallon = 2160 cups


the rest of the math is yours to do- I did the hard part
Why would you do this?
