Answer 2

6 tsp baking powder is needed if Jack uses 9 c of flour.

Explanation:

Given : Jack's pancake recipe calls for 2 tsp baking powder and 3 c of flour.

To find : How much baking powder is needed if Jack uses 9 c of flour.

Solution :

For 3 c of flour baking powder needed = 2 tsp

For 1 c of flour baking powder needed =
`(2)/(3)` tsp

Now, we have to find the amount of baking powder needed in 9 c flour.

For 9 c of flour baking powder needed =
`(2)/(3)* 9` tsp

= 6 tsp

Therefore, 6 tsp baking powder is needed if Jack uses 9 c of flour.
