To serve mashed potatoes for 150 people at a serving size of 4 ounces each, you will need a total of 600 ounces (150 people x 4 ounces). Since there are 16 ounces in a pound, this amounts to 37.5 pounds of mashed potatoes needed. Generally, raw potatoes yield about 2 to 2.5 times their weight when cooked and mashed, so you would need approximately 15-20 pounds of raw potatoes to produce the required amount of mashed potatoes.

To determine how many gallons of canned potatoes are needed to feed 100 people, consider that a typical serving size is about half a cup, which is approximately 4 ounces. One standard can of potatoes usually contains about 15 to 20 ounces, so it can serve about 3 to 4 people. Therefore, you would need around 25 to 30 cans to feed 100 people, which translates to roughly 2 to 2.5 gallons of canned potatoes.
One (1) pound is sixteen (16) ounces. Thirty-six ounces is two (2) pounds and four (4) ounces.
If each customer is given 2 ½ scoops of garlic mashed potatoes, and there are 3 quarts in total, you first need to determine how many scoops are in 3 quarts. Assuming 1 quart equals 4 cups, and 1 cup is approximately 8 ounces, there are about 96 ounces in 3 quarts. If each scoop is around 4 ounces, that means there are about 24 scoops in 3 quarts. Dividing 24 scoops by 2 ½ scoops per serving gives you approximately 9.6 servings, so you can serve about 9 customers.
