To determine how many \( \frac{1}{2} \) cups are in \( \frac{7}{8} \) cups, you can divide the two quantities:

\[
\frac{7}{8} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{7 \times 2}{8 \times 1} = \frac{14}{8} = 1 \frac{6}{8} = 1 \frac{3}{4}
\]

So, there are 1 and \( \frac{3}{4} \) (or 1.75) half-cups in \( \frac{7}{8} \) cups.
