HOW MUCH CHEESE IS NEEDED FOR MAC and 150 PEOPLE?

For 150 people, you will need approximately 15-20 pounds (6.8-9 kg) of cheese for macaroni and cheese. This amount will provide enough cheese to make a hearty and cheesy dish for everyone to enjoy. Here's a breakdown of the cheese calculation:

1. Assume 1 cup (8 ounces) of macaroni and cheese serves one person.

2. For 150 people, you will need 150 cups (1200 ounces) of macaroni and cheese.

3. A typical macaroni and cheese recipe calls for about 1 cup of cheese per 4 cups of macaroni and cheese.

4. Therefore, for 1200 ounces of macaroni and cheese, you will need 1200/4 = 300 cups of cheese.

5. Convert cups of cheese to pounds by dividing by 8 (since 1 cup is equal to 8 ounces): 300/8 = 37.5 pounds.

Considering that you may have some leftover cheese, and to ensure everyone has enough cheesy goodness, it's recommended to have around 15-20 pounds of cheese on hand. Remember, the amount of cheese can vary depending on personal preference and the specific recipe used.
