Jenny makes food for her hummingbird feeders. The food is made up of 1 part sugar and 4 parts water. She uses 34
cup of sugar to make the hummingbird food. How much water should Jenny use?
Jenny uses 34 cups of sugar for the hummingbird food, which is 1 part of the mixture.
Therefore, the total parts of the mixture is 1 + 4 = <<1+4=5>>5.
To find the amount of water needed, divide the total parts of the mixture by the number of parts of water: 34 cups / 5 parts = <<34/5=6.8>>6.8 cups of water. Answer: \boxed{6.8}.

Jenny should use 4 times the amount of water compared to the 1 cup of sugar.
Therefore, the amount of water she should use is 4 * 34 = 136 cups.
So the correct answer is 136 cups.
To find out how much water Jenny should use, we need to use the ratio of 1 part sugar to 4 parts water.
Let's assume that Jenny uses 'x' cups of water.
According to the ratio, the amount of sugar and water used will be in the ratio of 1:4.
1 part sugar = 34 cups
4 parts water = x cups
Setting up a proportion based on the ratio:
1/4 = 34/x
To solve for 'x', we can cross-multiply:
x = 4 * 34
x = 136 cups
Therefore, Jenny should use 136 cups of water.
