Question

Manny is making almond muffins for a mid-day snack. He makes 36 muffins and uses 4 cups of almonds. What is the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds that he is using? (1 point)


A. 1/9 of a muffin

B. 8 muffins

C. 9 muffins

D. 12 muffins

Answer 1

To find the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds, you can divide the total number of muffins by the total cups of almonds used.

Manny makes 36 muffins and uses 4 cups of almonds, so:

\[
\text{Unit Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Muffins}}{\text{Total Cups of Almonds}} = \frac{36 \text{ muffins}}{4 \text{ cups of almonds}} = 9 \text{ muffins per cup}
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C. 9 muffins
