Answer: 1/4 cup of fizzy water

========================================

Work Shown:

1/2 = 0.5

(1 cup fizzy water)/(2 tsp flavor) = (x cups fizzy water)/(0.5 tsp flavor)

1/2 = x/0.5

1*0.5 = 2*x ... cross multiply

0.5 = 2x

2x = 0.5

x = 0.5/2

x = 0.25

x = 1/4

He needs to add 1/4 cup of fizzy water
