The amount of rice you should cook for 50 adults depends on several factors, such as the serving size, the desired portion per person, and whether rice is the main dish or just a side. Typically, a serving of cooked rice is around 1/2 to 3/4 cup per person.
Let's assume a standard serving size of 1/2 cup per person. If you are serving rice as a side dish along with other main courses, you could estimate the total amount of cooked rice needed as follows:
Number of adults * Serving size per adult = Total cooked rice needed 50 adults * 0.5 cups/adult = 25 cups of cooked rice
Now, to convert cups of cooked rice to kilograms, we need to know the density of cooked rice. Cooked rice weighs around 200-240 grams per cup, depending on the type and preparation. Let's use an average value of 220 grams per cup.
Converting to kilograms: 25 cups * 220 grams/cup ≈ 5500 grams
So, you should cook approximately 5.5 kilograms of rice to serve 50 adults, assuming a 1/2 cup serving size per person. Adjust the amount accordingly if you prefer a different serving size or if rice is the main dish.
