To determine the amount of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion.

Let x be the number of cups of almonds Luis will need.

We know that the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips is 18/34.

Therefore, we can set up the proportion:

18/34 = x/3

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

34 * x = 18 * 3

34x = 54

Dividing both sides by 34, we get:

x = 54/34 ≈ 1.6

Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6 cups.

it is 0.5
