Answer:

16 times

Explanation:

Since there are 4 cups in 1 quart and Hudson only has a 1/4 measuring cup he needs to fill it 4 times 4 to get 1 cup and 12 more times for 1 quart so:

1/4*4= 1 cup

1 cup*4= 1 quart

There are 4 cups in a quart.

So if Hudson has only a 1/4 measuring cup, this can be represented by the equation:

4/1/4, solving it we get: 4* 4 (dividing turns a fraction into its reciprocal)

So, 4*4=16

Hudson will have to fill the 1/4 measuring cup 16 times to get a quart.

I hope this helps!
