To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the ratio given in the recipe.
The ratio of soaked chickpeas to water is 3 cups: 1.5 cups.
To find how many cups of soaked chickpeas are required for 15 servings, we can set up the following proportion:
3 cups soaked chickpeas / 1.5 cups water = x cups soaked chickpeas / 15 servings
Cross multiplying, we get:
3 * 15 = 1.5 * x
45 = 1.5x
Dividing both sides by 1.5, we find:
x = 45 / 1.5
x = 30
Therefore, 30 cups of soaked chickpeas are required for 15 servings.
Therefore, the answer is 30 cups.
