It would take 10 and half tomatillos to make 18 ounces of enchilada sauce.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of tomatillos = 7

Quantity of sauce made = 12 ounces

Ratio of tomatillos to sauce = 7:12

Quantity of sauce to made = 18 ounces

No. of tomatillos used = x

New ratio of tomatillos to sauce = x:18

Using proportion

Ratio of tomatillos to sauce :: New ratio of tomatillos to sauce

$7:12::x:18$

Product of mean = Product of extreme

$12*x=7*18\\12x=126\\$

Dividing both sides by 12

$\frac{12x}{12}=\frac{126}{12}\\x=10.5\ tomatillos$

It would take 10 and half tomatillos to make 18 ounces of enchilada sauce.
