Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] cups
Step-by-step explanation:

1 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cookies --- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup plain yogurt
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] cookies --- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup plain yogurt
2[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cookies --- ? cup plain yogurt
[tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex] cookies --- [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup plain yogurt = [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] cups plain yogurt
