Answer:

6 cups

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water held in cup when full = 125ml

Number of cups it will take to fill a jug which holds 3/4 L

Converting mL to L:

1000 mL = 1 L

Volume of water in cup when full = 125 / 1000 = 0.125 L

Jug which holds 3/4 L = 0.75 capacity

Hence, number of cups it'll take :

0.75 / 0.125

= 6

It will take 6 cups of 125mL to fill 3/4 L
