To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the ratio given in the recipe.
The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18 cups : 34 cups.
We can set up the proportion as:
18 cups of almonds / 34 cups of chocolate chips = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x.
18 cups of almonds * 3 cups of chocolate chips = 34 cups of chocolate chips * x cups of almonds
54 cups of almond = 34 cups of chocolate chips * x cups of almonds
Divide both sides by 34 cups of chocolate chips to isolate x:
54 cups of almond / 34 cups of chocolate chips = x cups of almonds
x ≈ 1.588 (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds to make the chocolate chip cookies.
To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of almonds to chocolate chips.
Let's call the number of cups of almonds Luis will need x.
The proportion can be set up as:
18 cups (almonds) / 34 cups (chocolate chips) = x cups (almonds) / 3 cups (chocolate chips)
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
34 cups (chocolate chips) * x cups (almonds) = 3 cups (chocolate chips) * 18 cups (almonds)
34x = 54
Divide both sides by 34:
x = 54 / 34
x ≈ 1.6
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6 cups.
To determine how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion based on the ratio given in the recipe.
The ratio is 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips. Let's set up the proportion:
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 chips = 34 cups chocolate chips * x cups almonds
Dividing both sides by 34 cups chocolate chips, we get:
54 cups almond chips / 34 cups chocolate chips = x cups almonds
Simplifying, we have:
1.5882 cups almonds = x cups almonds
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
