there are 128 ounces in a gallon. so if each cup holds 4 ounces, you can use 32 cups per gallon (128/4). so with 1gallon you can only serve 32 people. for 750 people, divide 750 by 32. 750/32=23.4375. so you would need 23.4375 gallons, multiply that by the amount of eggs needed for each gallon. 23.4375x6=140.625. you would need 141 eggs
