To find the number of cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to use the ratio given in the recipe. The ratio is 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:
18/34 = x/3
To solve for x (the number of cups of almonds), we cross multiply:
34x = 18 * 3
34x = 54
Dividing both sides by 34:
x = 54/34
x ≈ 1.588
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 proportion based on the ratio provided by the recipe:
18 cups of almonds / 34 cups of chocolate chips = X cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
Cross-multiplying, we get:
18 cups of almonds * 3 cups of chocolate chips = 34 cups of chocolate chips * X cups of almonds
54 = 34X
Dividing both sides by 34, we find:
X = 54 / 34
X ≈ 1.5882
Rounded 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 use the ratio given in the recipe. We are told that for every 34 cups of chocolate chips, we need 18 cups of almonds.
First, we need to determine the ratio of chocolate chips to almonds. This can be calculated by dividing the number of cups of almonds by the number of cups of chocolate chips:
18 cups of almonds / 34 cups of chocolate chips
Simplifying this ratio, we find:
0.5294118 cups of almonds / 1 cup of chocolate chips
Now, we can use this ratio to find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need for 3 cups of chocolate chips. We can multiply the number of cups of chocolate chips by the ratio:
3 cups of chocolate chips * 0.5294118 cups of almonds / 1 cup of chocolate chips
Simplifying, we find:
1.5882354 cups of almonds
Rounding this to the nearest tenth, we get:
1.6 cups of almonds
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds for 3 cups of chocolate chips.
