Answer: Her measuring cup has 8.25 mL of medicine.

Explanation:

As per given,

In 11 mL of medicine, there are 20 drops.

That means quantity in 1 drop =
(11)/(20) mL

Now , the quantity in 15 drops = 15 x quantity in 1 drop

=
15*(11)/(20)


=(33)/(4)

= 8.25 mL

Hence, her measuring cup has 8.25 mL of medicine.
