9 tablespoons of hot sauce

27 tablespoons of ketchup

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jen uses 3x as many tablespoons of ketchup as to hot sauce. We know she is making 36 tablespoons dipping sauce total.

SO, we make the equation x + 3x = 36

we group like terms and have 4x = 36

we need to divide both side by 4 and get 9

this means that we use a total of 9 tablespoons of hot sauce and 27 tablespoons of ketchup.

the least common denominator is 40
