Luis is making chocolate chip cookies. The recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 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
First, we need to determine the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips. We can do this by dividing the amount of almonds (1/8 cup) by the amount of chocolate chips (3/4 cup):
1/8 / 3/4 = 1/8 * 4/3 = 4/24 = 1/6
Next, we need to determine the amount of almonds for 3 cups of chocolate chips. We can do this by multiplying the ratio by the amount of chocolate chips:
1/6 * 3 = 3/6 = 1/2
Therefore, Luis will need 0.5 cups of almonds.
