To find the unit rate of rolled oats per 1 cup of almonds, we divide the amount of rolled oats by the amount of almonds in the recipe.

The recipe calls for:

  • 8 cups of rolled oats
  • 4 cups of almonds

Now, we calculate the unit rate:

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

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