Final answer:

Ashley can buy 1 2-liter of soda.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the maximum number of 2-liters of soda Ashley can buy, we need to first determine how much money she has left after buying $8 worth of chips. She was given $10, so after buying the chips, she has $10 - $8 = $2 left. Now, we divide the amount she has left by the cost of each 2-liter of soda, which is $2. So, Ashley can buy $2 ÷ $2 = 1 2-liter of soda.
