Answer 2

8 ( approx )

Explanation:

Given,

Total number of cups of pudding =
`2(1)/(2)`

The number of cups for each serving =
`(1)/(3)`

Hence, the total number of serving

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

`=(2(1)/(2))/((1)/(3))`

`=((5)/(2))/((1)/(3))`

`=(15)/(2)`

`=7.5`

`\approx 8`
