Given that a cup of coffee costs 0.5 cent0.5 \space\text{cent},

We first need to know the pieces of pie in 1 cent,1\space\text{cent}, thus, we divide 1 cent1\space\text{cent} by .5 cent.5\space\text{cent}.

Thus, we have,

1 cent.5 cent=2 cups of coffee\dfrac{1\space\text{cent}}{.5\space\text{cent}}=2\space\text{cups of coffee}
