To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can make a proportion:

18/34 = x/3

Simplifying the equation:

34x = 54

Dividing both sides by 34:

x = 1.5882...

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

I apologize for the mistake.

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the given information:

18 cups almonds / 34 cups chocolate chips = x cups almonds / 3 cups chocolate chips

Cross-multiplying:

34x = 18 * 3

34x = 54

Dividing both sides by 34:

x = 54/34 ≈ 1.588


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