0.75 or three-fourth of a cup of nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Original recipe has

Before doubling, total amount of chips and nuts =

Now, as per given question statement:

Subtracting the number 1.5 from both the sides to find the value of :

Therefore, 0.75 or three-fourth of a cup of nuts is the original amount in the recipe.

i pretty sure it is
