Less than 1 cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Gus is making 48 ounces of spiced cider.

First of all, we will convert amount of cider from ounces to cups.

We know 1 ounce equal 0.125 cups, so 48 ounces would be $40\times 0.125\text{ cups}=6\text{ cups}$

Since he wants to serves an equal amount to 7 people, so we will divide 6 cups by 7.

$\text{Number of cups served to each person}=\frac{6}{7}$

$\text{Number of cups served to each person}=0.857$

Therefore, each person will get less than 1 cup.
