The following table displays the proportional
relationship between the number of cookies
made from a recipe and the cups of flour
needed to make the cookies. How many
cookies can be made from 1 cup of flour?
The unit rate is “per cone cup of flour.”
Flour cups Cookies
5 120
4 96
3 72
2 48
To find the number of cookies that can be made from 1 cup of flour, we need to calculate the unit rate.
To calculate the unit rate, divide the number of cookies by the number of cups of flour.
For example, for the first row:
Unit rate = 120 cookies ÷ 5 cups of flour = 24 cookies per cup of flour.
So, for 1 cup of flour, 24 cookies can be made.
