To find the unit rate of rolled oats per 1 cup of almonds, we can set up a ratio based on the quantities given in the recipe:

  • 8 cups of rolled oats
  • 4 cups of almonds

The ratio of rolled oats to almonds is:

\[ \frac{8 \text{ cups of rolled oats}}{4 \text{ cups of almonds}} = 2 \]

This means that for every 1 cup of almonds, there are 2 cups of rolled oats.

Therefore, the unit rate of rolled oats per 1 cup of almonds is 2 cups.
