Help with storage calculations

[NoOne1]

Having a good food supply is probably one of the smartest things anyone can do for being prepared. Well, food and water...
How much you store is up to you. Here are some longish/easy to store items that are fairly inexpensive with their pound to serving ratios.

1lb noodles ~ 8 servings
1lb oatmeal packages ~ 6 servings
1lb oatmeal raw ~10 servings
1lb beans ~ 12 servings
1lb white rice ~ 10 servings
1lb Special K (cereal) ~ 14 servings
1lb Pancake mix ~ 10 servings

Thus a 25 lb bag of rice is about 250 servings. This will hold a family of four over for 250 servings / 3 meals a day / 4 people =~21 days.
