Reminds me of grammar school word problems:

If 20 persons working 6 hours a day for a month could plant enough yuca to provide cassava bread for a village of 300 persons for 2 years, how many people working 8 hours a day for 3 weeks would it take to feed 475 people for 15 months?

If they’re mashed, more can be fed, particularly if there’s a pizza place nearby that delivers.
