Answer 1

To find out how much baking soda Lisa should add to 9 lbs. of flour, we can set up a proportion:

2 tsp baking soda / 6 lbs. flour = x tsp baking soda / 9 lbs. flour

Cross-multiplying, we get:

2 tsp baking soda * 9 lbs. flour = x tsp baking soda * 6 lbs. flour

18 tsp baking soda = 6x tsp baking soda

Dividing both sides by 6, we have:

3 tsp baking soda = x tsp baking soda

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