The unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds is 3/1 cup.
To find the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds, we divide the number of cups of rolled oats by the number of cups of almonds.
Unit rate = 6 cups of rolled oats / 2 cups of almonds
Simplifying the division gives us:
Unit rate = 3 cups of rolled oats / 1 cup of almonds
Therefore, the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds is 3 cups.
To find the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds, we need to determine the ratio of rolled oats to almonds.
The recipe calls for 6 cups of rolled oats and 2 cups of almonds.
So, the ratio of rolled oats to almonds is 6 cups : 2 cups.
To simplify the ratio, we can divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
6 cups ÷ 2 = 3 cups
2 cups ÷ 2 = 1 cup
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 3 cups of rolled oats to 1 cup of almonds.
This means that for every 1 cup of almonds, Maria needs 3 cups of rolled oats.
So, the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds is 3 cups.
