Lisa adds to tsp baking soda to 6 lbs of flour. how much baking soda should she add to 9 lbs of flour?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion based on the amount of baking soda to the weight of flour.

Let "x" represent the amount of baking soda in tsp to be added to 9 lbs of flour.

We have the following proportion:

1 tsp baking soda / 6 lbs flour = x tsp baking soda / 9 lbs flour

Now, we can cross multiply to find "x":

6 lbs * x tsp = 1 tsp * 9 lbs

6x = 9

Dividing both sides by 6:

x = 9 / 6

x = 1.5

Therefore, Lisa should add 1.5 tsp of baking soda to 9 lbs of flour.
