Answer:
Rate = 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,
A cookie recipe calls for 1/3 of a cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of flour.
We need to find the unit rate of flour to sugar for the cookie recipe. It can be calculated as follows :
[tex]U=\dfrac{\text{No of cups of flour}}{\text{No of cups of sugar}}\\\\=\dfrac{1\dfrac{1}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{2}\times 3\\\\=4.5[/tex]
So, the unit rate of flour to sugar for the cookie recipe is 4.5
