0.4 cup
To find the amount of almonds Luis will need, we set up a ratio with the cups of chocolate chips and the cups of almonds:
(3/4) cup of chocolate chips = (1/8) cup of almonds
Now, we can solve for the amount of almonds Luis will need if he uses 3 cups of chocolate chips.
3 cups of chocolate chips * (1/8) cup of almonds / (3/4) cup of chocolate chips = (3/8) cup of almonds
Therefore, Luis will need approximately 0.4 cups of almonds. The answer is 0.4 cup.
