Answer:

The cup will be filled 6 times.

Explanation:

If her measuring cup only holds 1/4 cups then we need to find how many 1/4 cups are in 3/4 cups:

(1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) = 3/4

3/4 = 3/4

The measuring cup will have to be filled 3 times for 1 loaf.

If she has 2 loaves that means that she has to fill her 1/4 measuring cup 6 times (because 2 * 3 = 6)

Hope this helps!!
