Hugo filled the measuring cup with 2 cups of vegetable oil and poured 1/2 of a cup into the frying pan.
To find out how much oil is left in the measuring cup, we need to subtract the amount poured into the frying pan from the initial amount in the measuring cup.
2 - 1/2 = 3/2 - 1/2 = 2/2 = 1
Therefore, there is 1 cup of oil left in the measuring cup.
