Answer 1

1/ 1 5 teaspoons of garlic per teaspoon of hot sauce

Explanation:

Scott is making a dip that has 3 /5 of a teaspoon of garlic for every 1 /2 of a teaspoon of hot sauce.

3/5 teaspoon of garlic = 1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce

1/2 teaspoon of hot sauce = 3/5 teaspoon of garlic

1 teaspoon of hot sauce =

= 1 × 3/5 ÷ 1/2

= 3/5 ÷ 1/2

= 3/5 × 2/1

= 6/5

= 1 1/5 teaspoon of garlic.

Therefore, the unit rate of garlic to hot sauce in the dip is:

1/ 1 5 teaspoons of garlic per teaspoon of hot sauce
