How many cups of oats did Michael use in his recipe?

Answer 1

To find out how many cups of oats Michael used, we can set up the following calculation based on the amount of carbohydrates provided by the oats.

Each cup of oats contains 103.4 grams of carbohydrates. Michael has a total of 568.7 grams of carbohydrates.

We can set up the equation as follows:

\[ \text{Number of cups of oats} = \frac{\text{Total carbohydrates}}{\text{Carbohydrates per cup of oats}} = \frac{568.7 \text{ g}}{103.4 \text{ g/cup}} \]

Now, we perform the division:

\[ \text{Number of cups of oats} = \frac{568.7}{103.4} \approx 5.5 \]

Thus, Michael used approximately 5.5 cups of oats in his recipe.
