I would recommend you grab the measuring cups from the pantry and pretend to make these measurements - for the milk use 1 qrt of water and pour in to a liquid measure (most homes have a Pyrex measure cup that is from 2-4 cups) it is a good exercise and you will be able to answer subsequent questions more easily. If you don't have access to measuring cups try drawing them. This is more a visual exercise in observation than math and a real life example would answer it best. Good luck!
