Problema Solution
Aidan is making 2 boxes of Cheesy Mac for 6 children. One box of Cheesy Mac provides 2.5 servings. One child is hungry and will eat 3/5 of a box. Two children snacked all afternoon, and each will eat 30% of 1 serving. Two children are toddlers and will eat 3/4 of 1 serving. The final child will eat 60% of what the hungry child will eat. Did Aidan make enough? How much will each child eat?

One box of Cheesy Mac provides 2.5 servings thus two boxes of Cheesy Mac will provide 2*2.5 = 5 servings
Hungry child will eat: (3/5)*2.5 = 1.5 servings
Two children snacked all afternoon, and each will eat 30% of 1 serving: 2*0.30 = 0.60 servings
Two children are toddlers and will eat 3/4 of 1 serving: (3/4) = 0.75 servings
The final child will eat 60% of what the hungry child will eat: 0.60*1.50 = 0.90 servings
Altogether they will eat:
1.5 + 0.60 + 0.75 + 0.90 = 3.75 servings < 5 servings
