Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.
Measuring Pasta Quantities
Not sure how much pasta to throw in? The National Pasta Association offers the following guidelines:
* 2 oz. of dry spaghetti = bunch w/ diameter of a quarter = 1 cup cooked pasta * 8 oz. of uncooked small to medium pasta shapes = 4 cups cooked * 8 oz. long pasta shapes (spaghetti, linguine, etc.) = 1.5" diameter bunch = 4 cups cooked * 8 oz. uncooked egg noodles = 2.5 cups cooked

It depends on how much pasta those people would eat. But most people eat about 100 gram (before cooking) (1/5 of a pound). So for 125 people, about 25 (125/5) pounds of pasta is needed. But it is allways smart to buy some more ;P... uhu
1 lb. should feed 4 moderate eaters. If kids are involved, one pound should do.
I would use 50 packages of noodles but everyone in my family is over 500 pounds
100 potatoes and 5 pieces cuecumbor!! can feed 35 peope.
maybe 2 to 3 packs
3 to 5 pounds per person in the south with pasta could use less
About 40 pounds.
no, you need lots more then ten pounds
you would need about 10,000lbs of tato to feed that many booties
A good amount of pasta salad for 40 people would be 5 pounds total... just had a party for 40 people and that's what we had, and there was just a bit left over
20-25 lbs
i saw on another question it said 1 pound feeds about 4 people assuming the pasta is the main course. so for 30 people, to be safe, i would buy/use 8 pounds of pasta. maybe 7 if you know some people don't eat a lot
It requires 261 pounds of feed to produce a hundred pounds of poultry
It requires 629 pounds of feed to produce a hundred pounds of pork
It requires 88 pounds of feed to produce 100 pounds of milk
10 pounds should be more than enough.
The average chicken of about 4 pounds to 5 pounds would be enough meat to feed a group of 5 people. The size of chicken needed would depend on the amount of food 5 people could eat in a meal.
