To create the stain remover, the recipe specifies a ratio of 1 cup of dish soap to every 12 cup (assuming this should be 1/2 cup) of baking soda.
Connor is using 3 cups of baking soda. To find out how much dish soap he should use, we first determine how many halves are in 3 cups:
3 cups / (1/2 cup) = 3 * 2 = 6
So, there are 6 halves in 3 cups. Since the recipe calls for 1 cup of dish soap for every 1/2 cup of baking soda, Connor would need to use the same number of cups of dish soap as the number of halves in his amount of baking soda.
Therefore, Connor should use 6 cups of dish soap for his 3 cups of baking soda.
