To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of almonds to chocolate chips.
Let's call the number of cups of almonds Luis will need x.
The proportion can be set up as:
18 cups (almonds) / 34 cups (chocolate chips) = x cups (almonds) / 3 cups (chocolate chips)
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
34 cups (chocolate chips) * x cups (almonds) = 3 cups (chocolate chips) * 18 cups (almonds)
34x = 54
Divide both sides by 34:
x = 54 / 34
x ≈ 1.6
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds. Rounded to the nearest tenth, the answer is 1.6 cups.
