Adessert recipe calls for 2 and 1/2 cups of milk and makes 5 servings how many cups of milk are needed to make for 8 servings show work will mark branniest

It would take 4 cups of milk, how I got my answer.

I first needed to know out how much milk was in 1 serving so I divided, 2.5÷5=0.5, so then I multiplied, 0.5×3=1.5, the reason I done this was because there are 3 more servings than the last, then I added, 2.5+1.5=4.

I hope this helps!

A= b/2 because u simplying both sides of equation
