To find the number of cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to use the ratio given in the recipe. The ratio is 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.
Since Luis is using 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion:
18/34 = x/3
To solve for x (the number of cups of almonds), we cross multiply:
34x = 18 * 3
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34:
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)
