Buckets of Blocks Word Problem

Dennis and Cody are building a castle out of plastic building blocks. They will need 2 1/2 buckets of blocks for the castle they have in mind. Dennis used to have two full buckets of blocks but lost some and now has 1 1/2 buckets. Cody used to have two full buckets of blocks too, but now has 1 1/4 buckets. If Dennis and Cody combine their buckets of blocks, will they have enough to build their castle?
