Answer 1

To find out how many cups of oats Michael used, we can use the information that 1 cup of oats contains 103.4 grams of carbohydrates.

We can set up the equation:

\[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{\text{Total grams of carbohydrates}}{\text{Carbohydrates per cup}} \]

Substituting the known values:

\[ \text{Number of cups} = \frac{568.7 \text{ grams}}{103.4 \text{ grams/cup}} \]

Calculating this gives:

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

So, the correct answer is 5.5 cups.
