To find the amount of baking soda Lisa should add to 9 lbs. of flour, we can set up a proportion.
Given:
2 tsp baking soda for 6 lbs. of flour
Let x be the amount of baking soda for 9 lbs. of flour.
We can set up the proportion:
2 tsp / 6 lbs. = x tsp / 9 lbs.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
2 tsp * 9 lbs. = 6 lbs. * x tsp
18 tsp = 6 lbs. * x
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 6 lbs.:
18 tsp / 6 lbs. = x
x = 3 tsp
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs. of flour.

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find the amount of baking soda needed for 9 lbs. of flour.
We know that there is a ratio of 2 tsp of baking soda to 6 lbs. of flour. We can express this as:
2 tsp / 6 lbs. = X tsp / 9 lbs.
To find the value of X, we can cross-multiply and solve for X:
(2 tsp) * (9 lbs.) = (6 lbs.) * (X tsp)
18 tsp = 6X
Dividing both sides by 6, we get:
X = 18 tsp / 6 = 3 tsp
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs. of flour.
