No, she needs 1/6 cup more

Explanation:

She has 3 1/4 cups

She uses 2 2/3

Subtract

3 1/4 - 2 2/3

3 1/4 *3/3 - 2 2/3 *4/4

3 3/12 - 2 8/12

Borrow 1

2 12/12 +3/12 - 2 8/12

2 15/12 - 2 8/12

7/12

She borrows 1 cup

1 7/12

She needs 1 3/4 *3/3 =1 9/12

She is short

1 9/12 - 1 7/12 = 2/12 or 1 /6
