To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to set up a proportion.
The proportion is:
1/8 cup almonds / 3/4 cup chocolate chips = X cups almonds / 3 cups chocolate chips
Cross-multiply and solve for X:
(1/8) * 3 = (3/4) * X
3/8 = 3/4 * X
Divide both sides by 3/4:
(3/8) / (3/4) = X
(3/8) * (4/3) = X
12/24 = X
X = 1/2 = 0.5 cups of almonds
Therefore, Luis will need 0.5 cups of almonds. The answer is C. 0.5.
