Final answer:

To serve 150 people, you would need to make 7 dozen cinnamon rolls, which is equivalent to 84 individual rolls.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many dozen rolls you need to make, you can divide the total number of rolls needed by 24 (since a dozen is equal to 24). So, for 150 people, you would divide 150 by 24, which equals 6.25 dozen. Since you can't have a fraction of a dozen, you would round up to the nearest whole number, which means you need to make 7 dozen rolls.

The conversion factor here is that 1 dozen is equal to 12 rolls. So, you can multiply the number of dozen rolls needed (7) by 12 to find out how many rolls in total you need to make for 150 people. In this case, you would multiply 7 by 12, which equals 84 rolls in total.
