There should really be a space between the full cup measurement and the fraction. The only reasone they are together in the printed book is that the fractions are usually written with a symbol that is smaller than the fraction written out with the numbers and a slash. Because it is smaller it is clear to a reader that the first number of the fraction is not part of the number of full cups. Of course it can be figured out by most people reading the scanned book, but some alteration in formatting is ok if it still conveys the actual intended meaning more clearly. Now the validator will need to handle it if they are willing, but you will know for future submitions.
