The answer is 1/8 cups. you have to take 1/6 of 3/4.
In this equation, you have to treat the number in the bracket first on the basis of BODMAS
15 - [-3]- 4
Note that when two minuses come together the product is a plus sign.
15 +3 - 4
You have to add before you subract
18 - 4 =14
Therefore, 15- [-3] - 4 = 14.
