To find the number of cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the relationship given in the recipe.
Let "x" represent the number of cups of almonds Luis will need.
Using the proportion:
18/34 = x/3
Cross multiplying, we get:
34x = 3 * 18
34x = 54
x = 54/34
x ≈ 1.588
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 18 cup of almonds for every 34 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.(1 point)
