To determine the amount of dry penne pasta needed for 300 people, you must consider the serving size per person. A standard serving size for pasta is around 2 ounces. Therefore, for 300 people, you would need approximately 600 ounces (or 37.5 pounds) of dry penne pasta. It's always a good idea to account for potential variations in serving sizes and to consider any additional factors that may affect the quantity needed.
On average two ounces of uncooked penne pasta are in one cup of cooked pasta. If watching serving portions one can also use a food scale for exact weights.

Please specify WHICH pasta, there over 300 types, all different weight /volume ratios.
To get 2C of cooked pasta, the rule of thumb is to use half of what you need in dry pasta. Therefore, you would need about 1C dry pasta to get 2C of cooked pasta.Another measure would be weight, where the rule of thumb is that 2oz dry pasta makes about 1C of cooked pasta. Therefore, you would need 4oz dry to get 2C cooked pasta.

For 300 people, and an average of 15lbs per turkey with each person eating about 1¼ lbs, you would need about 25 turkeys. Here is my math: 1¼ pp X 300 people = 375 lbs. 375lbs/15lbs per turkey = 25 turkeys Note: This is all theoretical; I do not know how much turkey 300 people will eat.
