Question

If the cocoa to water ratio for a hot chocolate recipe is 1 tablespoon cocoa to 1/4 cup water, how much cocoa do you need if you use 1.5 cups of water?

Answer 1

6 tbsp

Explanation:

1.5 = 1 1/2, or 1 2/4.

1/4 x 4 = 1.

1/4 x 6 = 1 2/4.

1 tbsp cocoa x 6 = 6 tbsp cocoa.

6sp cocoa is needed for 1.5 cups of water.
