$3/16$ cup

To make $3/4$ of a recipe, multiply the amount of ingredients required by $3/4$

$3/4 * 1/4=3/16$

$3/16$ cup of granola

Set up a proportion:

$(1 "recipe")/ (1/4 "cup granola") = (3/4 "recipe") / x$

Cross-multiply:

$1 * x = 3/4 * 1/4$

$x = 3/4 * 1/4$

$x = 3/16$

So, $3/4$ of the recipe would require $3/16$ cup of granola.
