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.

The recipe requires:

  • 8 cups of rolled oats
  • 4 cups of almonds

To find the unit rate, we divide the amount of rolled oats by the amount of almonds:

\[ \text{Unit rate} = \frac{\text{Rolled oats}}{\text{Almonds}} = \frac{8 \text{ cups of rolled oats}}{4 \text{ cups of almonds}} = 2 \text{ cups of rolled oats per 1 cup of almonds} \]

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