Answer:

4 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this we need to set up a proportion. We can use 2.5 cups/5 servings = x cups/8 servings for our proportion.

Now to find x we cross multiply the fractions (numerator of first fraction times denominator or second fraction, and numerator of second fraction times denominator of first fraction):

2.5/5=x/8

20=5x

20/5=x

4=x

So now we know that 4 cups are needed for 8 servings.
