Answer:

25 grams of protein

Explanation:

10 grams of protein is in 1 cup of milk.

To understand how many grams of protein are in 0.5 cups of milk, I would need to divide 10 by 2, to get 5.

There are 5 grams of protein in 0.5 cups of milk.

Now if I want to see how many grams of protein are in 2 cups of milk, I would multiply 10 by 2, to get 20.

There are 20 grams of protein in 2 cups of milk.

But, the question is asking for how much protein is in 2.5 cups of milk.

Since we know how much is in 2 cups, and 0.5, we can just add them together, because 2+0.5 is 2.5.

20+5 is 25 grams.

There are 25 grams of protein in 2.5 cups of milk.
