Lisa adds 2 tsp baking soda to 6 Ibs. of flour. How much baking soda should she add to 9 Ibs. of Hour? (1 point)
O 3 tsp
O 9 tsp
O 27 tsp
O 18 tsp
To find out how much baking soda should Lisa add to 9 Ibs. of flour, we can set up a proportion:
2 tsp / 6 Ibs. = x tsp / 9 Ibs.
Cross multiplying, we get:
6 Ibs. * x tsp = 2 tsp * 9 Ibs.
Simplifying:
6x = 18
x = 18/6
x = 3
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 Ibs. of flour.
So the correct answer is 3 tsp (Option O).
