Question

Angela uses 2/3 cups of strawberries to make 5/6 of a liter of smoothie. What is the unit rate in cups of strawberries per liter of smoothie?

1. 5/9 cups per liter
2. 3/4 cups per liter
3. 4/5 cups per liter
4. 5/4 cups per liter

Answer 1

5/6 litre of Smoothie = 2/3 cups of smoothie

Divide both sides by 5/6

So 1 litre of smoothie = 2/3 ÷ 5/6 cup of smoothies

= 2/3 × 6/5 cup of smoothies

= 4/5 cup of smoothies
