To make 1/2 cup using 1/3 cup measurements, you need to understand the relationship between these two measurements.
1/2 cup is equivalent to 0.5 cups, and 1/3 cup is approximately 0.333 cups. To find out how many 1/3 cups are needed to make 1/2 cup, you can divide 1/2 by 1/3.
So, 0.5 ÷ 0.333 ≈ 1.5.
This means you need 1.5 (one and a half) 1/3 cups to make 1/2 cup. In practical terms, you would use one full 1/3 cup and then half of another 1/3 cup to reach the desired 1/2 cup measurement.
