Question 1012803: Lindsey decides to bake cookies at home for the first time. She only has a one-fourth measuring cup. The recipe calls for 3 3/4 cups of flour, 8 ounces of milk, 2 cups of sugar, and a bag of chocolate chips. Since she only has 1/4 to measure the ingredients how many cups of flour, milk, and sugar, will she need?

----
Flour:: (3 3/4)/(1/4) = (15/4)/(1/4) = 15 one-quarter measure cups
----
Sugar:: 2/(1/4) = 8 one-quarter measure cups
----
Milk:: 8 ounces of milk = 1 cup
1/(1/4) = 4 one-quarter measure cups
