Manny is making almind 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 he is using?

Question

12 muffins

9 muffins

8 muffins

1/9 of a muffin

Answer 1

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

Manny makes 36 muffins and uses 4 cups of almonds:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{36 \text{ muffins}}{4 \text{ cups of almonds}} = 9 \text{ muffins per cup of almonds} \]

Thus, the unit rate is 9 muffins per cup of almonds.
