REALLY URGENT!!! I posted this problem a few times before and all I’m getting is spam bots. Please help me

A recipe for 6 servings of chili calls for 3 tablespoons of chili powder and 16 tablespoons of chopped onion. If the ratios of chili powder to chopped onion must be the same in both recipes, how many tablespoons of chopped onion should be in 16 servings of chili? Explain your reasoning.
