Answer:
The correct answer is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of a cup f water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
The first step is to realize that the ratio of hot chocolate to amount of water used is directly proportional.
Step 2
The next step is to set up the ratios and then cross multiply to yield the amount of water needed to make the beverage.,
[tex]1\rightarrow \frac{1}{4} \\1.5\rightarrow x\\\implies x= 1.5\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
The amount of water needed is [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] of a cup
