Answer:

30 monthly payments.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the number of monthly payments made for a 2 1/2 year loan.

We know that one year equals 12 months, so 2 years would be 2 times 12 months, that is:


2* 12\text{ months}=24\text{ months}

The number of months in half year would be half of 12 that is
(12)/(2)=6 months.


\text{Months in 2 1/2 year}=24+6


\text{Months in 2 1/2 year}=30

Since 2 1/2 year equals 30 months, therefore, 30 monthly payments must be made for a 2 1/2 year loan.
