Answer:

4.5 cups of tomatoes should be combined with 1.5 cups of bell peppers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the salsa is made with 6 parts tomato and 2 parts bell pepper.

Let t be tomatoes and b be bell peppers

The proportion will be:

t:b

The ratio of tomatoes to bell pepper will be:

6:2

This ratio simplifies to 3:1

This means no matter how much more the tomatoes and peppers are, the simplified ratio will be same.

Now the bell peppers are 1.5 cups then the proportion will be:

t:b::t:b\\6:2::t:1.5\\\frac{6}{2} = \frac{t}{1.5}\\3 = \frac{t}{1.5}\\t = 1.5 * 3\\t =4.5

Hence,

4.5 cups of tomatoes should be combined with 1.5 cups of bell peppers.
