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
\(=\frac{\text{Total cups}}{\text{Number of cups in each serving}}\)
\(=\frac{2\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}\)
\(=\frac{\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{3}}\)
\(=\frac{15}{2}\)
\(=7.5\)
\(\approx 8\)
