#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.
