The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 1/8 : 3/4. To find the amount of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion:
x / 3 = 1/8 / 3/4
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
x / 3 = (1/8) * (4/3)
x / 3 = 1/6
x = 3 * 1/6
x = 1/2
Therefore, Luis will need 1/2 cup of almonds.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is: A 0.5 cup.
