Question

A recipe requires 1 1/4 cups of sugar for every 1/3 of a cup of salt. What is the unit rate of salt to sugar in the recipe?

Answer 1

The unit rate of cups per teaspoon is 1 1/3

Explanation:

-A recipe calls for 2 by 3 cup of sugar for every 1 by 2 teaspoon of vanilla.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

=(2/3)/(1/2)

=(2/3)/(1/2)

=(2/3)x(2/1)

=(2x2)/(3x1)

=(4/3)

= 1 1/3

Answer 2

3 3/4 cups of sugar per cup of salt

Explanation:

To find the unit rate of salt to sugar in the recipe, we need to divide the number of cups of sugar by the number of cups of salt. In this case, the unit rate of salt to sugar is 1 1/4 cups of sugar divided by 1/3 of a cup of salt, which can be simplified to 3 3/4 cups of sugar per cup of salt.
