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.

Answer 1

The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. If Luis uses 3 cups of chocolate chips, he will need 3 * (1/8) / (3/4) = 1/8 * 4/3 = 1/6 = 0.16666666667 cups of almonds. Rounded to the nearest tenth, he will need 0.2 cups of almonds. Answer: \boxed{0.2}.

Answer 2

0.2 is not a option

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. In that case, let's recalculate.

The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips. If Luis uses 3 cups of chocolate chips, he will need (1/8) / (3/4) * 3 = (1/8) * (4/3) * 3 = 4/8 = 1/2 = 0.5 cups of almonds. Rounded to the nearest tenth, he will need 0.5 cups of almonds. Answer: \boxed{0.5}.

Answer 5

The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.

To find the amount of almonds needed, we can set up the following proportion:

1/8 cup almonds / 3/4 cup chocolate chips = x / 3 cups chocolate chips

Cross multiplying, we get:

(1/8)(3) = (3/4)(x)
3/8 = 3x/4

To solve for x, we can cross multiply again:

4(3/8) = 3x
12/8 = 3x
3/2 = 3x
x = 1/2 or 0.5 cup

Therefore, Luis will need 0.5 cups of almonds. The correct answer is: 0.5 cup.
