To find the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips, we divide the number of cups of almonds by the number of cups of chocolate chips: 18/34 = <<18/34=0.5294>>0.5294

Then we divide the number of cups of chocolate chips Luis uses by the ratio to find the number of cups of almonds he needs: 3 cups / 0.5294 = <<3/0.5294=5.6701>>5.6701
Rounded to the nearest tenth, Luis needs 5.7 cups of almonds. Answer: \boxed{5.7}.

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

The recipe states that for every 18 cups of almonds, there are 34 cups of chocolate chips. We can create the following proportion:

18 cups of almonds / 34 cups of chocolate chips = x cups of almonds / 3 cups of chocolate chips

To solve for x, the number of cups of almonds Luis will need, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:

18 * 3 = 34 * x

54 = 34x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 34:

54 / 34 = x

x ≈ 1.588

Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.

To find out how many cups of almonds Luis will need, we can use the ratio of almonds to chocolate chips given in the recipe.

The ratio is 18 cups of almonds for every 34 cups of chocolate chips.

First, we need to determine the proportion of chocolate chips that Luis is using compared to the amount in the ratio.

Luis is using 3 cups of chocolate chips, which is less than 34 cups from the ratio.

To find the proportion, we can set up a ratio:

3 cups / 34 cups = x cups / 18 cups

We can cross multiply:

3 cups * 18 cups = 34 cups * x cups

54 cups = 34 cups * x cups

To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 34 cups:

x cups = 54 cups / 34 cups

x cups ≈ 1.588 cups

Therefore, Luis will need approximately 1.6 cups of almonds.
