No. Taylor needs one more cup of milk.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you need to figure out how many cups of milk Taylor has first. She has $1 1/2$ quarts of milk, so to find out how many cups this is, we have to know how many cups are in a quart. There are $4$ cups in a quart. So, we take $1 1/2$ quarts and multiply it by $4$ .

$1 1/2 xx4/1$

$=3/2 xx4/1$

$=12/2$

When we do this, we get $6$ , so there are $6$ cups in $1 1/2$ quarts.

We know that Taylor needs $7$ cups of milk for the recipe, but she only has $6$ cups of milk. So, Taylor needs $1$ more cup of milk to make the potato soup.
