To find the pattern in the sequence, we can see that each term is increasing by 1/2.
2, 2 1/2, 3, ...
So the eighth term can be found by adding 1/2 to each previous term:
2 + 1/2 = 2 1/2
2 1/2 + 1/2 = 3
3 + 1/2 = 3 1/2
3 1/2 + 1/2 = 4
4 + 1/2 = 4 1/2
4 1/2 + 1/2 = 5
5 + 1/2 = 5 1/2
Therefore, the eighth term of the sequence is 5 1/2.
