Answer:

Nika can make 15 cups of milk.

Explanation:

To find how many cups she can make, we divide 3 3/4 by 1/4. First, we convert 3 3/4 to an improper fraction.

3 ¾ / ¼ Equation

15/4 / ¼ Convert to improper

15/4 * 4/1 Reverse sign & second fraction

= 60/4

= 15

Also, 15 * 1/4 = 3 ¾, so its correct!
