The number of 1/2 cups in 7/8 cups is 7/4

Here, we want to find the number of 1/2 cups in 7/8 cups

To get this, we simply proceed to divide 7/8 cups by 1/2 cups

Thus, we have;


\begin{gathered} (7)/(8)\text{ divided by }(1)/(2) \\ \\ \text{That will be;} \\ \\ (7)/(8)\text{ }*\text{ }(2)/(1)\text{ = }(7)/(4) \end{gathered}

So the number of 1/2 cups in 7/8 cups is 7/4
