Answer 1

Sam made 3 servings of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

To find out how many servings Sam made, we can solve the equation 2/3m = 2, where m represents the number of servings. To solve for m, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3/2 to get rid of the fraction. This gives us m = (2)(3/2) = 3 servings. Therefore, Sam made 3 servings of punch.
