Answer: 2 teaspoons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In a triple batch of a spice mix, there are 6 teaspoons of garlic powder and 15 teaspoons of salt.

I.e. The ratio of teaspoons of garlic power to teaspoons of salt = [tex]\dfrac{6}{15}[/tex] (1)

Let x be the number of teaspoons of garlic powder corresponds to 5 teaspoons of salt in spice mix.

Then, the ratio of teaspoons of garlic power to teaspoons of salt = [tex]\dfrac{x}{5}[/tex] (2)

We assume that the ratio of spices in spice mix are proportional .

Then , from (1) and (2) , we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{5}=\dfrac{6}{15}\\\\ x=\dfrac{6}{15}\times5=2[/tex]

Hence, 2 teaspoons of garlic powder is used with 5 teaspoons of salt .
