Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 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.
whats the answer
To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to calculate the ratio between the amount of almonds and the amount of chocolate chips.
The recipe states that for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, we need 1/8 cup of almonds.
First, let's determine the ratio:
(1/8 cup of almonds) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips)
To divide fractions, we multiply the numerator (top number) by the reciprocal of the denominator (bottom number).
So, (1/8 cup of almonds) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips)
can become (1/8 cup of almonds) * (4/3 cup of chocolate chips)
Simplify the fractions:
(1 * 4) / (8 * 3)
= 4/24
= 1/6
Therefore, the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1:6.
Now, we can determine the number of cups of almonds needed for 3 cups of chocolate chips by setting up a proportion:
1 cup of almonds / 6 cups of chocolate chips = X cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
To solve for X, cross-multiply:
6 cups of chocolate chips * X cups of almonds = 3 cups of chocolate chips * 1 cup of almonds
6X = 3
X = 3/6
Simplifying, we find that X = 1/2 cup of almonds.
So, Luis will need approximately 0.5 cups of almonds to make his chocolate chip cookies, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cup.
To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to set up a proportional relationship between the amount of chocolate chips and the amount of almonds.
According to the recipe, the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1/8 cup : 3/4 cup.
To find the equivalent ratio for 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion:
(1/8 cup) / (3/4 cup) = x / 3 cups
Cross-multiplying:
(1/8) * (3 cups) = (3/4) * x
3/8 = (3/4) * x
Multiplying both sides by 4/3 to isolate x:
(3/8) * (4/3) = x
12/24 = x
Simplifying the fraction:
1/2 = x
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 0.5 cups of almonds to make 3 cups of chocolate chips.
i thimk its 0.5

Apologies for the typo. Yes, rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 0.5 cups of almonds.
Lenny is making his own laundry soap. The recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes. If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, how many cups of borax and washing soda combined does he need?
Since the ratio for the laundry soap recipe is 2 parts borax to 2 parts washing soda to 1 part soap flakes, we can add the parts together to calculate the total number of parts.
2 parts borax + 2 parts washing soda + 1 part soap flakes = 5 parts in total.
To find the amount of borax and washing soda combined, we can set up a proportion using the total number of parts:
(2 parts borax + 2 parts washing soda) / 5 parts total = (x cups of borax + x cups of washing soda) / 7 cups of soap flakes.
Cross multiplying, we get:
(2x + 2x) / 5 = (x + x) / 7
Simplifying, we have:
4x / 5 = 2x / 7
Cross multiplying again:
4x * 7 = 2x * 5
28x = 10x
Solving for x:
28x - 10x = 0
18x = 0
x = 0
This result implies that there is no need for borax or washing soda in the recipe, or that there is not enough information provided to determine the exact amount needed.
Therefore, we cannot determine the specific amount of borax and washing soda combined that Lenny would need based on the given information.
what
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's reevaluate the problem and solve it correctly.
The recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes.
If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, we need to calculate the amount of borax and washing soda required.
The total number of parts in the recipe is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5.
To find the amount of borax and washing soda combined, we can set up a ratio:
(2 parts borax + 2 parts washing soda) / 5 parts total = 7 cups of soap flakes / x cups of the combined mixture.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(2 + 2) / 5 = 7 / x
4 / 5 = 7 / x
Cross-multiplying again:
4x = 35
Dividing both sides by 4, we find:
x = 35 / 4
x = 8.75
Therefore, Lenny would need approximately 8.75 cups of borax and washing soda combined to make 7 cups of soap flakes.
im pretty sure its 28
Apologies for any confusion caused by my previous response. You are correct.
Based on the given recipe, for every 2 parts of borax and 2 parts of washing soda, there is 1 part of soap flakes.
If Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, we need to calculate the combined amount of borax and washing soda.
Since the ratio of borax and washing soda to the soap flakes is 2:2:1, we can calculate the combined amount by multiplying the ratio by the number of parts.
The combined amount of borax and washing soda is (2 + 2) * 7 cups = 4 * 7 cups = 28 cups.
Therefore, Lenny will need a total of 28 cups of borax and washing soda combined.
Lisa adds 2 tsp baking soda to 6 lbs. of flour. How much baking soda should she add to 9 lbs. of flour?
my answer is 3 tsp. i could be wrong tho
To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion.
The ratio of baking soda to flour remains constant, so we can write:
2 tsp / 6 lbs = x tsp / 9 lbs
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(2 tsp) * (9 lbs) = (6 lbs) * (x tsp)
18 tsp = 6 lbs * x
Divide both sides of the equation by 6 lbs:
18 tsp / 6 lbs = x
Simplifying the units:
3 tsp/lb = x
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs of flour. Your answer of 3 tsp is correct.
Use proportional relationships to solve this mixture problem. The incoming 6th-grade class has a choice between band or choir as an elective. There are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band. How many students can choose band if there is a total of 250 students?
my answer is 50
To solve this problem using proportional relationships, we can set up a proportion between the number of seats in choir and band:
(Seats in choir) / (Seats in band) = (Number of students in choir) / (Number of students in band)
Since it is stated that there are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band, we can represent this as:
(4) / (1) = (Number of students in choir) / (Number of students in band)
To find the number of students in band, we need to first determine the total number of seats. Since there is a total of 250 students:
(Number of students in choir) + (Number of students in band) = 250
Given that there are four times as many seats in choir as there are in band, we can set up an equation:
4x + x = 250
Combining like terms, we have:
5x = 250
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = 250 / 5
x = 50
Therefore, there are 50 students who can choose band as their elective. Your answer of 50 is correct.
Carla needs to complete her science homework. She has 20 pages to read and 14 questions to answer. If it takes Carla 10 minutes to read 4 pages, how many minutes will it take her to read the full assignment?
my answer is 50 minutes
To determine how long it will take Carla to read the full assignment, we can set up a proportion:
(Number of pages read) / (Number of minutes) = (Total number of pages) / (Total number of minutes)
Since Carla can read 4 pages in 10 minutes, we can set up the proportion as:
4 pages / 10 minutes = 20 pages / x minutes
To find x, we can cross-multiply:
4 * x = 10 * 20
4x = 200
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 200 / 4
x = 50
Therefore, it will take Carla approximately 50 minutes to read the full assignment. Your answer of 50 minutes is correct.

To find the amount of almonds needed, we can set up a proportion:
(chocolate chips in cups) / (almonds in cups) = (3/4) / (1/8)
Cross multiplying, we get:
(chocolate chips in cups) * (1/8) = (3/4) * (almonds in cups)
Clearing fractions:
(chocolate chips in cups) / 8 = (3/4) * (almonds in cups)
Multiplying by 8:
chocolate chips in cups = 3 * (almonds in cups)
Since the question asks for the amount of almonds needed, we can solve for almonds in cups:
almonds in cups = (chocolate chips in cups) / 3
almonds in cups = 3 / 3 = 1
Thus, Luis will need 1 cup of almonds.

To find the amount of borax and washing soda combined, we can calculate it based on the ratio in the recipe.
The ratio is 2 parts borax to 2 parts washing soda to 1 part soap flakes.
If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, we need to determine the combined amount of borax and washing soda.
The total number of parts in the recipe is 2 + 2 + 1 = 5.
To find the amount of borax and washing soda combined, we can set up a proportion:
(2 parts borax + 2 parts washing soda) / 5 parts total = 7 cups of soap flakes / x cups of the combined mixture.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
(2 + 2) / 5 = 7 / x
4 / 5 = 7 / x
Cross-multiplying once again:
4x = 7 * 5
4x = 35
Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x:
x = 35 / 4
x = 8.75
Therefore, Lenny will need approximately 8.75 cups of borax and washing soda combined to make 7 cups of soap flakes. Your answer of 28 cups is incorrect.
