For the second one, they are wanting to make 1 and 1/2 the original recipe. This means it is a 50% increase from the original recipe. So, we should multiply 1 and 1/2 by 5/8.

1 (1)/(2) * (5)/(8) = (3)/(2) * (5)/(8)= (15)/(16)
So, they will need 15/16 cups of coca for the new recipe.

since they want to make 1 1/2 of the recipe that means that it is half of the recipe three times so you need to multiply 5/16 by three
