To determine how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we need to find the ratio of almond cups to chocolate chip cups.
The given ratio is 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.
To find the number of almond cups needed for 3 cups of chocolate chips, we can set up a proportion:
18/34 = x/3
To solve for x (the number of almond cups), we can cross multiply:
18 * 3 = 34 * x
54 = 34x
x = 54/34
x ≈ 1.6
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. However, since the options provided are rounded to the nearest tenth, the closest option is 0.8 cup. Therefore, the correct answer is:
0.8 cup
