To find out how much baking powder is needed for 1 teaspoon of salt, set up a proportion based on the given ratio:

2 teaspoons of baking powder / (1/3) teaspoon of salt = x teaspoons of baking powder / 1 teaspoon of salt

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

2 * 1 = (1/3) * x

2 = x/3

Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for x:

x = 6
