A salsa recipe uses green peppe, onion and tomato in the extended ration 1:3:9. How many cups of tomatoes are needed to make 117 cups of salsa?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find out how many cups of tomatoes are needed, you can first calculate the total number of parts in the extended ratio:

1 + 3 + 9 = 13

Next, divide the total number of cups of salsa by the total number of parts:

117 cups / 13 parts = 9 cups

Finally, multiply the result by the ratio of tomatoes:

9 cups * 9/13 = 63 cups

Therefore, you would need 63 cups of tomatoes to make 117 cups of salsa.
