Answer: 2 & 3/4 cups
================================================
Explanation:
Use long division to divide 11 over 4. See the attached image below.
You should find that 11/4 = 2 remainder 3
The denominator 4 goes into 11 exactly 2 times with 3 left over
4*2 = 8 which is less than 11, and 11-8 = 3 is the remainder.

Alternatively,
[tex]\frac{11}{4} = \frac{8+3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{11}{4} = \frac{8}{4}+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{11}{4} = 2+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{11}{4} = 2\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Which is the mixed number 2 & 3/4
