To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion.
The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18 cups to 34 cups.
Let x be the number of cups of almonds Luis will need.
18/34 = x/3
Cross multiplying, we get:
34x = 18 * 3
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34, we get:
x = 54/34
x ≈ 1.59
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6 cups.
So, the correct answer is not given in the options provided.
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)
