Calculadora de Cantidad de Hielo — Fórmula

## How Much Ice for an Event

### Formula

**Total Ice = Guests x Hours x Ice Per Guest Per Hour**

### Guidelines

- Indoor/cool weather: 0.25 lb per person per hour
- Standard: 0.5 lb per person per hour
- Outdoor/hot weather: 0.75-1 lb per person per hour

Always round up and buy extra. Ice is inexpensive and running out is inconvenient.

Ejemplo Resuelto

Calculate ice for 25 guests at a 4-hour outdoor summer party.

  1. Total ice: 25 x 4 x 0.5 = 50 lbs.
  2. In kilograms: 50 x 0.454 = 22.7 kg.
  3. 10-lb bags: ceil(50 / 10) = 5 bags.
