Question

Recipe calls for 2/3 cup of sugar for every 1/2 teaspoon of vanilladiewhat is the unit rate of cups per teaspoon?

Answer 1

The ratio for cups to teaspoon is 2/3 : 1/2

If we want to make it a unit rate (a ratio with 1 as the denominator), we need to multiply 1/2 by 2.

To ensure the ratio remains equal, we would also multiply 2/3 by 2.

The ratio becomes 1 1/3 : 1

Hope this helps! Have a great day :)
