Given the ratio of vinegar to baking soda is 3 to 1, for every 3 parts of vinegar, there is 1 part of baking soda.
If there are 6 parts of baking soda, we can set up the following relationship based on the ratio:
Let \( v \) be the parts of vinegar. According to the ratio:
\[
\frac{v}{6} = \frac{3}{1}
\]
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[
v = 6 \times 3 = 18
\]
Thus, you need **18 parts of vinegar**.
The correct response is **18**.
