A recipe for cookies uses sugar and baking powder. The recipe uses 3/4 cups of sugar and 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder.

Question

What is the unit rate of cups of sugar per teaspoon of baking powder fur the recipe?

Answer 1

To find the unit rate, we need to divide the amount of sugar by the amount of baking powder.

First, convert 3/4 cups of sugar to teaspoons:
1 cup = 48 teaspoons
3/4 cup = 3/4 * 48 = 36 teaspoons

Now, divide the amount of sugar by the amount of baking powder:
36 teaspoons of sugar / 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder = 36 / 0.5 = 72

Therefore, the unit rate of cups of sugar per teaspoon of baking powder for the recipe is 72.
