A ratio indicates how many times one number contains another.

The correct answer is: 9


Here, it is given that in a recipe, the ratio of butter and sugar is 2:3. We have to find the number of cups of sugar used if the number of cups of butter used is 6.
Let the number of cups of butter and sugar used be 2x and 3x respectively.
Then, 2x = 6
=> x = 6/2
=> x = 3.
Hence, the correct option is B.
