Answer 1

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion:

18 cups of almonds / 34 cups of chocolate chips = X cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips

Cross-multiplying, we get:

18 cups * 3 cups of chocolate chips = 34 cups * X cups of almonds

54 cups of chocolate chips = 34 cups * X cups of almonds

Simplifying, we get:

54 cups = 34X

Dividing both sides by 34, we get:

X = 54 cups / 34

Simplifying, X is approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.

So, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. Rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer is 0.5 cup.

Answer 3

According to the recipe, Lenny needs 2 parts of borax, 2 parts of washing soda, and 1 part of soap flakes.

Since Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, we can calculate the amounts of borax and washing soda needed.

Borax: 2 parts * 7 cups = 14 cups
Washing soda: 2 parts * 7 cups = 14 cups

Therefore, Lenny needs a combined total of 14 cups of borax and washing soda.

Answer 5

To solve this problem, we can set up a ratio using the given information:

2 tsp baking soda / 6 lbs of flour = X tsp baking soda / 9 lbs of flour

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2 tsp * 9 lbs of flour = 6 lbs of flour * X tsp baking soda

18 tsp = 6 lbs of flour * X tsp baking soda

Dividing both sides by 6 lbs of flour, we get:

X tsp baking soda = 18 tsp / 6 lbs of flour

Simplifying, we find that X is equal to 3 tsp baking soda.

Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs of flour.
