Question

The lines on a 2-cup liquid measuring cup divide each cup into eighths If you measure 1 3/4 cups of water between which two quantities can you be certain that your exact measurement will be

Answer 1

The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.

Explanation:

1 3/4 = 1 6/8

Since the lines are every 1/8 of a cup, there are a total of 16 lines indicating 1/8 of a cup for a total of two full cups.

1/8 less than 1 6/8 is 1 5/8.

1/8 more than 1 6/8 is 1 7/8.

The line between 1 5/8 and 1 7/8 is exactly 1 3/4.
