Answer 2

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to use the given ratio of 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.

First, we set up a proportion with x representing the number of cups of almonds Luis will need:

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

Now, we can cross multiply and solve for x:

18 * 3 = 34 * x

54 = 34x

Divide both sides by 34:

x = 54 / 34 ≈ 1.6

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

Answer 3

0.5 cup
