The quantity of milk that is needed is:

$(3)/(8)\ \text{cups of milk}$

It is given that:

A recipe for cake needs 3/4 of a cup of milk.

You are making 1/2 of the recipe.

This means that the amount of milk that is required for the making cake is:

$(1)/(2)* \text{Actual quantity of milk required for a recipe}\\\\\\=(1)/(2)* (3)/(4)\\\\\\=(1* 3)/(2* 4)\\\\\\=(3)/(8)\ \text{cups of milk}$

Hence, the cup of milk that is required is:
(3)/(8)
