A recipe calls for 3/4 cup of sugar for every 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. What is the unit rate in teaspoons of cinnamon per cup of sugar?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{2}{3}$ teaspoons of cinnamon per cup of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe calls for $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of sugar for every $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons of cinnamon.

For one cup of sugar;

1 × $\frac{1}{2}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{2}{3}$ teaspoons of cinnamon will be needed.
