Since Lisa adds 2 tsp of baking soda to 6 lbs. of flour, we can set up a proportion to find out how much baking soda she should add to 9 lbs. of flour:
2 tsp / 6 lbs. = x tsp / 9 lbs.
Cross-multiplying, we get:
2 * 9 = 6 * x
18 = 6x
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get:
x = 3
Therefore, Lisa should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs. of flour.
