Given,

The amount of liquid hold by measuring cup is 2 cups.

The number of times measuring cup used to fill the pitcher.

Required:

The amount of liquid pitcher hold.

The amount of liquid hold by the pitcher is,

$Amount\text{ of liquid = number of times measuring cups used}* amount\text{ of liquid hold by measuring cup}$

Substituting the values.

$\begin{gathered} Amount\text{ of liquid =7.5}*2\text{ cups} \\ =15\text{ cups} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the pitcher can hold 15 cups.
