To find the amount of onion needed, we need to find the fraction of the extended ratio that represents onion and then multiply it by the total amount of salsa needed.
The fraction representing onion in the extended ratio is 5/2+5+9=5/16.
Therefore, the amount of onion needed is 5/16*96=<<5/16*96=30>>30 cups.
The correct answer is 30.
A salsa recipe uses green pepper, onion, and tomato in the extended ratio 2:5:9. How many cups of onion are needed to make 96 cups of salsa? (1 point)
