Answer:

3 cups

2.5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the USDA MyPlate plan, people aged 14 and over on a 2,000 calorie/day diet should consume 3 cups of milks per day to meet their daily requirement for milk.

According to that same source, for kids up to 8 years old on a 2,000 calorie/day diet, the required amount of milk to meet daily requirements is 2 and a half cups per day
