How many 2 pound boxes of spaghetti noodles would it take to feed 300 people?

To figure this out, we need to know how much spaghetti each person will eat. A typical serving of spaghetti is about 2 ounces, which is 1/8 of a pound. So, each person will need 1/8 of a pound of spaghetti.

If we're feeding 300 people, that means we need to provide 300 x 1/8 = 37.5 pounds of spaghetti. Since each 2 pound box of spaghetti contains 2 pounds of spaghetti, we need to divide the total amount of spaghetti we need by the weight of each box to find the number of boxes we need: 37.5 pounds / 2 pounds per box = 18.75 boxes.

So, we would need to purchase at least 19 (18.75 rounded up) 2 pound boxes of spaghetti noodles to feed 300 people.
