Question

A recipe calls for 1/4 teaspoon of shortening for every 2/3 cup of milk. What is the unit rate of cups per teaspoon? Explain

Answer 1

This is the rate per 1/4 of a teaspoon.
To find the rate for a whole teaspoon, multiply 2/3 by 4 to get 8/3, or 2 2/3.
So, the rate is 2 2/3 cups of shortening per teaspoon.
Hope this helps!
