The answer is 7/8 cup, which is just short of a full cup.
Explanation: 1.75 means 1 3/4 stick of butter. Let's do the smaller units first: A 1/2 stick of butter equals 1/4 cup. Therefore, 1/4 stick would equal 1/8 cup. So, to figure out how much a 3/4 stick would equal, take 1/8 cup times 3 = 3/8 cup, which would be between 1/4 cup and 1/2 cup.
1 stick of butter is 1/2 cup. If we add that 1/2 cup to 3/8 cup, convert 1/2 to 4/8, and add that to 3/8 = 7/8 cup.
The answer is 1/2 cup + 3/8 cup or 4/8 cup + 3/8 cup = 7/8 cup. 1/8 less a full cup.
Half a cup of butter.
The phrase "How much butter could a buttercup cup if a buttercup could cup butter" is a play on words and does not have a literal answer. It combines the idea of a buttercup flower with the action of cupping butter. In reality, buttercups are flowers and cannot cup butter, so the question is nonsensical and meant to be a fun and whimsical wordplay.
