To find the number of cups of tomatoes needed, we first need to determine the total number of parts in the extended ratio.
1+3+9 = 13
Next, we need to find out how many parts tomatoes represent:
9 parts represent tomatoes
Now, we can calculate how many cups of tomatoes are needed:
117 cups of salsa / 13 parts = 9 cups per part
9 cups per part * 9 parts of tomatoes = 81 cups of tomatoes
Therefore, 81 cups of tomatoes are needed to make 117 cups of salsa.
