Problem Description:
The image shows two measuring cups with markings for different measurements (1 cup, ½ cup, ¼ cup). The task is to indicate the correct level for
one cup in the first measuring cup and
three quarters (¾) cup in the second measuring cup.
---
Solution Explanation:
#### Step 1: Understanding the Measuring Cup Markings
- The measuring cups have markings that represent fractions of a cup.
- The top marking is labeled as "1 cup," which represents the full capacity of the cup.
- Below it, there are markings for "½ cup" and "¼ cup," indicating half and one-quarter of a cup, respectively.
#### Step 2: Indicating One Cup
- In the first measuring cup, the task is to indicate
one cup.
- The "1 cup" marking is at the very top of the cup. This is the highest line on the cup.
- To indicate one cup, you would draw a horizontal line or mark at the level of the "1 cup" label.
#### Step 3: Indicating Three Quarters (¾) Cup
- In the second measuring cup, the task is to indicate
three quarters (¾) cup.
- To calculate ¾ cup:
- 1 cup = 4 quarters (since 1 = 4/4).
- ¾ cup = 3 out of 4 quarters.
- Visually, this means filling the cup up to the level between the "½ cup" and "1 cup" markings but closer to "1 cup."
- Specifically, ¾ cup is halfway between the "½ cup" and "1 cup" markings.
#### Step 4: Drawing the Indicators
- For the first measuring cup:
- Draw a horizontal line at the "1 cup" marking.
- For the second measuring cup:
- Draw a horizontal line at the level corresponding to ¾ cup, which is three-quarters of the way up from the bottom to the "1 cup" marking.

Final Answer:
-
First Measuring Cup: Indicate the "1 cup" level by drawing a line at the top marking.
-
Second Measuring Cup: Indicate the "¾ cup" level by drawing a line three-quarters of the way up from the bottom to the "1 cup" marking.

\boxed{\text{Draw lines at the indicated levels as described above.}}
