To determine the number of cups of milk, we first calculate for the volume of the milk needed. Then, we use a conversion factor for the volume from cubic centimeter to cups. From literature, 1 cubic centimeter is equal to 0.0042 cup. We do as follows:

Volume of milk = ( 2.50 kg ) ( 1000 g / 1 kg ) / 1.03 g /cm^3 = 2427.18 cm^3
cups of milk = 2427.18 cm^3 ( 0.0042 cup / 1 cm^3 ) = 10.19 cups
