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

First, we need to determine the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips. We can do this by dividing the amount of almonds (1/8 cup) by the amount of chocolate chips (3/4 cup):

1/8 / 3/4 = 1/8 * 4/3 = 4/24 = 1/6

Next, we need to determine the amount of almonds for 3 cups of chocolate chips. We can do this by multiplying the ratio by the amount of chocolate chips:

1/6 * 3 = 3/6 = 1/2

Therefore, Luis will need 0.5 cups of almonds.
