Answer 2

Answer:

8 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total number of cups of pudding = $2\frac{1}{2}$

The number of cups for each serving = $\frac{1}{3}$

Hence, the total number of serving

$=\frac{\text{Total cups}}{\text{Number of cups in each serving}}$

$=\frac{2\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}$

$=\frac{15}{2}$

$=7.5$

$\approx 8$
