Answer: She will use 6 cans of pinto beans .

She will use 6 cans of kidney beans.

Explanation:

As per given,

For bean salad : lima beans : pinto beans : kidney beans

= 3:2:2

Let quantity of lima beans = 3x, pinto beans 2x , kidney beans 2x.

if she use 9 cans of lima beans, then

3x=9

⇒x=9

Now, 2x= 2 x 3 =6

Thus , she will use 6 cans of pinto beans and 6 cans of kidney beans.
