To understand the relationship between almonds and chocolate chips in Luis's cookie recipe, let's analyze the ratio given:
- For every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, he needs 1/8 cup of almonds.
We can express this ratio in a more comprehensible form.
-
First, let's determine how many times 3/4 cup fits into a larger measurement of chocolate chips. For example, if we want to find how many almonds are needed for 1 cup of chocolate chips:
- \( 1 \text{ cup of chocolate chips} = \frac{4}{3} \times (3/4 \text{ cup}) \)
-
So, to find how many almond cups needed for 1 cup of chocolate chips, we multiply the almond requirement by this factor:
\[ \text{Almonds required} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{1}{8} \text{ cup of almonds} = \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6} \text{ cup of almonds} \]
Thus, for every cup of chocolate chips, Luis would need 1/6 cup of almonds.
If you need to find out the amount of almonds for a different quantity of chocolate chips, just use the original ratio:
- For every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, use 1/8 cup of almonds.
