wrong sorry
To determine how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can use the ratio stated in the recipe: 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 to find the equivalent amount of almonds:
18 cups almonds / 34 cups chocolate chips = x cups almonds / 3 cups chocolate chips
Cross-multiplying, we get:
18 cups almonds * 3 cups chocolate chips = 34 cups chocolate chips * x cups almonds
54 cups almond = 34 cups chocolate chips * x cups almonds
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 34 cups chocolate chips:
x cups almonds = (54 cups almonds) / 34 cups chocolate chips
Calculating this, we get:
x cups almonds ≈ 1.588 cups almonds
Rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
To determine how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can use the ratio provided in the recipe. The recipe states that for every 34 cup of chocolate chips, 18 cups of almonds are needed.
Since Luis is using 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of cups of almonds:
34 cups of chocolate chips / 3 cups of chocolate chips = 18 cups of almonds / x cups of almonds
Cross-multiplying, we get:
34 * x = 3 * 18
Simplifying, we have:
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34:
x = 54 / 34
Calculating this, we get:
x ≈ 1.588
Rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
I apologize for any confusion. Let's do the calculation again.
The recipe states that for every 34 cups of chocolate chips, 18 cups of almonds are needed.
Since Luis is using 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of cups of almonds:
34 cups of chocolate chips / 18 cups of almonds = 3 cups of chocolate chips / x cups of almonds
Cross-multiplying, we get:
34 * x = 18 * 3
Simplifying, we have:
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34:
x = 54 / 34
Calculating this, we get:
x ≈ 1.588
Rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.
To find the number of cups of almonds needed, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips given in the recipe.
18/34 = x/3
Cross multiplying gives us:
34x = 18 * 3
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34:
x = 54/34 ≈ 1.5882
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
