You can divide 1 3/4 cups by 1/2 cup to get how many 1/2 cups can fit in it. Same goes for the 1/8 cup. 1 3/4 multiplied by the reciprocal which is 2/1. And 1 3/4 multiplied by the recipe riciperical of 1/8 as well which is actually 8/1. Now all you have to do is do the math yourself to find out how many 1/2 cups can fit and how many 1/8 cups can fit.
