Whoaaa?
Why did you get that particular kind of rice? That's not the rice we use to make 'rice' on a daily basis. That's used to make rice cake.
Mochi means rice cake! (And
kome means 'rice') That rice is so-very-extra-sticky!!
Please forget about that ratio between rice and water for now. I don't even know the correct ratio for Mochikome because not many people make rice cake at home anymore in Japan. We just buy the finished product.
Let me do some googling now. (Doesn't it say anything about water on the package, though?)
