Tom decided not to use the 1/24 scoop used by Sam. Instead, he uses a scoop that is 1/8 of a can of hot chocolate mix. Tom and Sam each start with the same amount, 3/4 of a can of hot chocolate mix. Who can make more cups of hot chocolate? Explain.

Sam can make a lot more since he has a lot more hot chocolate mix. 1/8 is bigger than 1/24
