Answer: Choice B

1 & 3/4

=============================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 1/2 into 4/8 so that it has the same denominator as 7/8.

Now that the denominators are the same, we focus on the numerators. This is because the equal denominators cancel out when we divide the fractions later on.

We'll divide the numerators 7 and 4 to get

7/4 = (4+3)/4

7/4 = (4/4) + (3/4)

7/4 = 1 + (3/4)

7/4 = 1 & 3/4

Meg can get 1 & 3/4 servings from the jug.
