    2.5 cups of milk will make his ingredients proportional.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since he used five out of the three cups of flour he was supposed to use, you can use that as the fraction: 5/3.

    Since 5/3 was used on the flour, it also has to be used on the milk

    To apply it to the milk, you just multiply 5/3 * 1.5 cups of milk, which gets you 2.5 cups of milk

    *Multiplying by a fraction also means of.

    Example: 1/2 * 4 = 2 because two is 1/2 of 4
