3 cups

Answer 2

Jenny uses 34 cups of sugar for the hummingbird food, which is 1 part of the mixture.
Therefore, the total parts of the mixture is 1 + 4 = <<1+4=5>>5.
To find the amount of water needed, divide the total parts of the mixture by the number of parts of water: 34 cups / 5 parts = <<34/5=6.8>>6.8 cups of water. Answer: \boxed{6.8}.

Answer 3

Jenny should use 4 times the amount of water compared to the 1 cup of sugar.

Therefore, the amount of water she should use is 4 * 34 = 136 cups.

So the correct answer is 136 cups.
