She has $$\frac{9}{4}$$ and uses $$\frac{4}{3}$$ hence remaining is $$\frac{9}{4} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{11}{12}$$ and which is approx 0.9 and lies in the region mentioned in C.

Stephanie has 9/4 cups of milk on hand and makes 2 batches of cookies, using 2/3 cup of milk for each batch of cookies. Which of the following describes the amount of milk remaining after she makes the cookies?

Milk used to make 2 batches of cookies = 2/3 +2/3 = 4/3

Balance = 9/4 - 4/3 = 11/12

11/12 = 0.91

Answer C = Between 3/4 cup and 1 cup.

9/4 - 4/3 = 11/12

11/12 is very close to 1 but is <1. It falls in the range that choice C mentions
