To find the amount of almonds Louis will need, we need to set up a proportion based on the ratio given in the recipe.
The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18:0.75
Let x be the amount of almonds needed. Since Louis is using 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up the proportion:
18/0.75 = x/3
Cross multiplying, we get:
0.75 * x = 18 * 3
0.75 * x = 54
Dividing both sides by 0.75, we get:
x = 54 / 0.75
x = 72
Therefore, Louis will need 72 cups of almonds.
Mary is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 18 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips if Louis uses 3 cups of chocolate chips, how many cups of almonds will he need round to the nearest tenth
