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.
