15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1 cup equals 1/4 cup 4 times: 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1 cup. So you have four 1/4 cups = 1 cup. Since you want 3 cups you have to multiply 4 x 3 = 12. Now you have 12 times you have to fill it. 3/4 cup = 1/4 cup three times. So add 12 + 3 and you get 15. You have to fill the 1/4 cup 15 times to make 3 3/4 cups of milk.
