Answer 2

The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18:34. To find how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion.

18/34 = x/3

Cross multiplying, we get:

18 * 3 = 34x

54 = 34x

Dividing both sides by 34, we find:

x = 54/34 ≈ 1.588

Rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.

So, the closest answer choice is:

C. 0.8 cup
