O 18.0 cups
O 0.4 cup
O 0.5 cup
O 0.8 cup
To find the number of cups of almonds needed, we need to use the ratio given in the recipe: 1/8 cup of almonds for every 3/4 cup of chocolate chips.
First, we need to determine the number of sets of 3/4 cup of chocolate chips in 3 cups:
3 cups / (3/4 cup) = 3 cups * (4/3) = 4 sets
Since there is 1/8 cup of almonds for every set, the total amount of almonds needed is:
4 sets * 1/8 cup = 4/8 = 1/2 cup
Therefore, Luis will need 0.5 cup of almonds. The answer is O 0.5 cup.
