Answer:

2 1/2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

5 × (1/2 cup) = 5/2 cup = 2 1/2 cup

__

Or, you can add them up. You know from your study of fractions that two half-cups make 1 cup.

(1/2 cup) + (1/2 cup) + (1/2 cup) + (1/2 cup) + (1/2 cup)

= ((1/2 cup) +(1/2 cup)) +((1/2 cup) +(1/2 cup)) +(1/2 cup)

= (1 cup) + (1 cup) + (1/2 cup)

= (2 cup) + (1/2 cup)

= 2 1/2 cup
