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

Answer 1

1 tablespoon cocoa = 0.25 cup water

1.5 tablespoon cocoa x (0.25 cup water)/(1 tablespoon cocoa)=

3/8 cup of water

You will need 3/8 cup of water for 1.5 tablespoon of cocoa.
