uis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 18 cup of almonds for every 34 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.(1 point)Responses18.0 cups18.0 cups0.4 cup0.4 cup0.8 cup0.8 cup0.5 cup
Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:
0.5 cup
To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the recipe's proportions.
The recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
Let's use x to represent the number of cups of almonds Luis will need.
So we can set up the following ratio:
(1/8 cup of almonds) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips) = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
To simplify the ratio, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction on the left side by 4:
(1/8 cup of almonds) * (4/4) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips) = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
(4/32 cup of almonds) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips) = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
Now we can set up the proportion:
(4/32) / (3/4) = x / 3
To divide fractions, we can multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(4/32) * (4/3) = x / 3
Multiplying the numerators, we get:
16/96 = x / 3
To simplify the fraction, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 16:
1/6 = x / 3
Now, we can cross-multiply:
6x = 3
Dividing both sides by 6, we have:
x = 1/2
So, 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?(1 point)Responses21 cups21 cups28 cups28 cups7 cups7 cups14 cups14 cups
The recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes.
Since Lenny is using 7 cups of soap flakes, we can calculate the total number of parts needed as follows:
2 + 2 + 1 = 5 parts
To find out the amount of borax and washing soda needed, we divide the total number of parts by the number of parts for borax and washing soda combined (2 + 2):
5 parts / 4 parts = 1.25
Now, we can find the amount of borax and washing soda by multiplying 1.25 by 7 cups of soap flakes:
1.25 * 7 cups = 8.75 cups
Therefore, Lenny would need approximately 8.75 cups of borax and washing soda combined. Rounding to the nearest whole number, the answer is 9 cups.

Apologies for the confusion. The correct answer is:
14 cups
To find the number of cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion:
18 cups almonds / 34 cups chocolate chips = x cups almonds / 3 cups chocolate chips
Cross-multiplying, we have:
(18 cups almonds) * (3 cups chocolate chips) = (34 cups chocolate chips) * (x cups almonds)
54 cups almonds = 34 cups chocolate chips * x cups almonds
Dividing both sides by 34 cups chocolate chips, we have:
54 cups almonds / 34 cups chocolate chips = x cups almonds
Simplifying, we get:
1.588 cups almonds = x cups almonds
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a ratio using the recipe's proportions.
The recipe calls for 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.
Let's use x to represent the number of cups of almonds Luis will need.
So we can set up the following ratio:
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 then divide:
18 * 3 = 34 * x
54 = 34x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 34:
54 / 34 = x
x ≈ 1.588
So, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. Rounding to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6 cups.
