To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to set up a proportion.
Since the recipe calls for 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips, we can set up the following proportion:
(1/8 cup of almonds) / (3/4 cup of chocolate chips) = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips
We can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(1/8) / (3/4) = x / 3
(1/8) * (4/3) = x / 3
4/24 = x / 3
1/6 = x / 3
x = 3/6
x = 1/2 cup of almonds
Therefore, Luis will need 1/2 cup of almonds for 3 cups of chocolate chips.
