Diane serves breakfast to two groups of children at a daycare center. One box of Outies contains 12 cups of cereal. She needs 1/3 cup for each younger child and 3/4 cup for each older child. Today's group includes 11 younger children and 10 older children. Is one box of Outies enough for everyone? Explain

No because the younger kids need 1/3 x 11, which is 11/3 or 3 2/3. The older kids need 3/4 x 10, which is 30/4 or 7 2/4
