To find out how many cups of almonds Luis needs, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips.
The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18 cups to 34 cups.
Let x represent the number of cups of almonds Luis needs.
We can set up the proportion:
18 cups / 34 cups = x cups / 3 cups
Cross-multiplying, we get:
18 cups * 3 cups = 34 cups * x cups
54 cups = 34x
Dividing both sides by 34, we get:
x = 54 cups / 34
Simplifying, we get:
x = 1.588 cups
Rounding to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
Thus, the correct answer is: 1.6 cup

Since the recipe calls for 2 parts borax, 2 parts washing soda, and 1 part soap flakes, the borax and washing soda combined will be 4 parts in total.
If Lenny uses 7 cups of soap flakes, then he would need 4 times that amount in total for the borax and washing soda.
4 * 7 cups = 28 cups
Therefore, Lenny would need 28 cups of borax and washing soda combined.
The correct answer is: 28 cups
