Answer:

2.25 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion and solve for x...

3 cups is to 8 servings as 'x' cups is to 6 servings...

becomes...

3/8 = x/6       now solve for x...

[3(6)]/8 = x     (multiply both sides by 6 to get rid of the fraction on the right)

18/8 = x  

      9/4  = x

          2 1/4 = x

          2.25 = x
