Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 18 cup of almonds for every 34 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

A: 18.0 cup
B: 0.4 cup
C: 0.8 cup
D: 0.5 cup

1 answer

To find the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips, divide the number of cups of almonds by the number of cups of chocolate chips: 18/34 = 0.529.

To find the number of cups of almonds needed, multiply the number of cups of chocolate chips by the ratio: 0.529 * 3 = 1.587.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need 1.6 cups of almonds.

Thus, the answer is not listed.
