well to get to 2 cups: she needs 5/8 more. and then she still needs half a cup...

anonymous · Answer

so 5/8 is the answer then?

anonymous · Answer

well acutally. none will give you 2 1/2 . the largers one gives u 2 1/4

anonymous · Answer

bec adding 5/8 gets u to a total of 2 cups. but we need more: so if you add 6/8 that makes it 2 cups and 1/8 . and if u add 7/8 that would be 2 cups and 2/8
