To find out how many cups of mugwort Chomper will need, we first need to find the proportion between cups of mugwort and cups of newt.
The proportion is 1/8:3/4.
To find the amount of mugwort needed for 3 cups of newt, we cross multiply.
1/8 * 3/4 = 3/32
So Chomper will need 3/32 cups of mugwort, which is equal to 0.09375 cups.
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Chomper will need approximately 0.1 cups of mugwort.
