1 answer

To find the unit rate of rolled oats per cup of almonds, you divide the amount of rolled oats by the amount of almonds. The recipe calls for 6 cups of rolled oats and 2 cups of almonds.

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{cups of rolled oats}}{\text{cups of almonds}} = \frac{6 \text{ cups of rolled oats}}{2 \text{ cups of almonds}} = 3 \text{ cups of rolled oats per cup of almonds} \]

So, the unit rate is 3 cups of rolled oats per cup of almonds.
