Answer 1

To find out how many cups of oats Michael used in his recipe, we first need to determine how many grams of carbohydrates are in one cup of oats.

Typically, 1 cup of rolled oats contains approximately 54 grams of carbohydrates.

Now, we can calculate the number of cups using the information provided:

\[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{\text{Total carbohydrates}}{\text{Carbohydrates per cup}} = \frac{568.7 \text{ grams}}{54 \text{ grams/cup}} \approx 10.53 \text{ cups} \]

From the options provided, none of them match approximately 10.53 cups of oats.

Please check the carbohydrate content per cup of oats again or provide more details if there’s a specific context.
