Janet need, when she uses 9 cups of flour?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 6 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a ratio equation to solve:

3/2 = 9/x

Cross multiply to get:

3x = 18

Solve for x:

x = 6

Answer: a) 6 cups

Step-by-step explanation: The 3 cups to get to 9, is really double the amount, so if you double 3 then you double 2 and get 6. 3*2=6
