So if there is a recipe for an example and 2/3 of sugar for every 2 teaspoons of vanila. What would the unit rate be?

Question

How do I get the unit rate of 2/3 cup for every 2 teaspoons

Answer 1

To calculate in cups:

2 t x 1T/3t x 1 oz/2 T x 1 cup/ 8 oz = 2/48 = 1/24 cup

(2/3 cup)/(1/24 cup) = (2/3)(24/1) = 48/3 = 16 cups sugar to each cup vanilla

To calculate in t:

2/3 cup x 8 oz/ 1 cup x 2T/1 oz x 3t/1T = solve to find # of t in a cup

Set up ratio as above and solve
