Shaieylah uses 3 cups of sugar for every 2 teaspoons of baking soda to make a batch of cookies. Which proportion could be solved to find x, the number of teaspoons of baking soda needed for 9 cups of sugar?(1 point) Responses 32=x9 3 halves is equal to x over 9 32=9x 3 halves is equal to 9 over x 92=x3 9 halves is equal to x over 3 92=3x
The correct proportion to solve for x, the number of teaspoons of baking soda needed for 9 cups of sugar, is:
3 cups / 2 teaspoons = 9 cups / x teaspoons
This proportion simplifies to:
3/2 = 9/x
To solve for x, cross multiply:
3x = 18
x = 6
Therefore, 6 teaspoons of baking soda are needed for 9 cups of sugar.
