Yes. Each can has 5000g. And since there are 10, the cafeteria has 50,000. You divide 50,000g by the serving size(125g) which is 400. So yes. The cafeteria has enough.

To serve 350 students, you would need 350 servings. Each surving is 125g, so in total you would need

350 x 125 = 43,750g

43,750g is 43.75 kg. The cafeteria has 10 5-kg cans, so the cafeteria has

10 x 5 = 50 kg

50 is higher than 43.75, so the cafeteria will have enough to serve 350 students.
