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.

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can use a proportion.

We know that the recipe calls for 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.

Let's set up a proportion with x representing the number of cups of almonds Luis will need:

18/34 = x/3

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and divide:

18*3 = 34*x

54 = 34x

Divide both sides by 34:

x = 54/34

Simplify the fraction if needed:

x ≈ 1.588

Since the question asks us to round to the nearest tenth, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can use a proportion based on the ratio provided in the recipe.

The ratio of almonds to chocolate chips in the recipe is 18:34, which can be simplified to 9:17 by dividing both numbers by 2.

Now we can set up a proportion:

9 / 17 = x / 3

We cross multiply:

9 * 3 = 17 * x

27 = 17x

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 17:

27 / 17 = x

x ≈ 1.588

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