= 20 ¼-cup servings
Children ages 1–2 = 20 ¼-cup servings Children ages 3–5 = 10 ½-cup servings
There are two ¼-cup servings in each ½-cup serving, so multiply the number of ½-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings.
Conversion: 10 ½-cup servings x 2 = 20 ¼-cup servings

Step 2: Determine the number of ¼-cup servings needed by age group.
Children ages 1–2 = 26 ⅛-cup servings = 13 ¼-cup servings
A ⅛-cup serving is one-half of a ¼-cup serving, so divide the number of ⅛-cup servings by 2 to convert to ¼-cup servings.
Conversion: 26 ⅛-cup servings 2 = 13 ¼-cup servings
