Lis adds 2 tsp of baking soda to 6lbs of flour. how much baling soda should she add to 9 lbs of flour

Answer 1

To find out the amount of baking soda Lis should add to 9 lbs of flour, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.

The ratio of baking soda to flour is 2 tsp to 6 lbs.

Let x be the amount of baking soda to be added to 9 lbs of flour.

So, we can set up the proportion as:

2 tsp / 6 lbs = x tsp / 9 lbs

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2 tsp * 9 lbs = 6 lbs * x tsp

18 tsp-lbs = 6x tsp

Dividing both sides by 6 to isolate x, we get:

18/6 tsp-lbs = x tsp

3 tsp-lbs = x tsp

Therefore, Lis should add 3 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs of flour.
