    Answer: 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Nasim is making hot sauce. Nasim puts in chile peppers and tomatoes in a ratio of 1 to 3.

    Assuming Nasim puts in 9 tomatoes, the number of chile peppers should she put will be:

    Ratio of chile peepers to tomato = 1; 3

    Since she put 9 tomatoes, chile peppers = (1*9) / 3 = 9/3 = 3.

    For 1 chile peeper, there'll be 3 tomatoes.

    For 3 chile pepper, thee will be 9 tomatoes.

    Answer: She needs to add 3 chile peppers.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio of chile peppers to tomatoes is 1:3

    this means that for each 3 tomatoes, she puts one chile pepper.

    Then if she puts 9 tomatoes, this means that she puts 3 tomatoes 3 times.

    And we know that for each 3 tomatoes she needs to add 1 chile pepper, then she needs to add 1 chile pepper 3 times:

    3*1 = 3 chile peppers.

    She needs to add 3 chile peppers.
