A salsa recipe uses green peppe, onion and tomato in the extended ration 1:3:9. How many cups of tomatoes are needed to make 117 cups of salsa?(1 point)
To find out how many cups of tomatoes are needed, you can first calculate the total number of parts in the extended ratio:
1 + 3 + 9 = 13
Next, divide the total number of cups of salsa by the total number of parts:
117 cups / 13 parts = 9 cups
Finally, multiply the result by the ratio of tomatoes:
9 cups * 9/13 = 63 cups
Therefore, you would need 63 cups of tomatoes to make 117 cups of salsa.
