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.
