Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 1/8 cups of almonds for every 3/4 cups 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

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

First, we know that 1/8 cups of almonds is equivalent to 3/4 cups of chocolate chips.

Let's set up the proportion using the information given:

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

Now, we can cross multiply to solve for x:

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

3/8 = 3x/4

Next, we can simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 4 to get rid of the fraction:

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

12/8 = x

x = 12/8

By dividing 12 by 8, we find that x is equal to 1.5.

Therefore, Luis will need 1.5 cups of almonds. Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need 1.5 cups of almonds. Answer: \boxed{1.5}.

Answer 2

that isnt an answer

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Since the recipe calls for 1/8 cups of almonds for every 3/4 cups of chocolate chips, we can calculate the proportion of almonds to chocolate chips.

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

To find x, we can cross multiply:

1/8 * 3 = 3/4 * x

3/8 = 3x/4

Multiplying both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction gives us:

(4/8) * 3 = 3x

3/2 = 3x

To solve for x, divide both sides by 3:

3/6 = x

Simplifying gives us x = 1/2.

Therefore, Luis will need approximately 0.5 cups of almonds (rounded to the nearest tenth). Answer: \boxed{0.5}.
