To convert 2 1/2 quarts to cups, you first need to know that 1 quart is equal to 4 cups.
Here's how to perform the conversion:
-
Convert the mixed number (2 1/2 quarts) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \text{ quarts} \]
-
Now convert quarts to cups: \[ \frac{5}{2} \text{ quarts} \times 4 \text{ cups/quart} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2} = \frac{20}{2} = 10 \text{ cups} \]
So, \( 2 \frac{1}{2} \) quarts is equal to 10 cups.
