To find the amount of baking soda needed for 9 lbs. of flour, we can set up a proportion:
2 tsp baking soda / 6 lbs. flour = x tsp baking soda / 9 lbs. flour
Simplifying the proportion, we have:
2/6 = x/9
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
6x = 2 * 9
Simplifying, we have:
6x = 18
Dividing both sides by 6, we find that x = 3 tsp.
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs. of flour.
