Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. If Luis uses 3 cups of chocolate chips, how many cups of almonds will he need? Round to the nearest tenth.

1 answer

If the recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, then for 3 cups of chocolate chips, Luis will need 3/0.75 = <<3/0.75=4>>4 times the amount of almonds.
This means Luis will need 4*1/8 = <<4*1/8=0.5>>0.5 cups of almonds. Answer: \boxed{0.5}.
