Answer:
The unit rate is 4 cups of oats per a cup of quinoa
Unit Rate is a ratio of two measurements in which the 2nd term is 1
Step-by-step explanation:
* Lets explain the meaning of unit rate
- A rate is a ratio that is used to compare different types of quantities
- A unit rate describes how many units of the first type of quantity
corresponds to one unit of the second type of quantity
- To calculate the unit rates, we simply divide the two numbers
in a fraction with denominator equal 1
- Ex:
# The unit rate of 50 miles per 5 hours is 50/5 = 10 miles per hour
# The unit rate of $20 dollars for 5 books is 20/4 = 5 dollars per book
∴ <u><em>Unit Rate is a ratio of two measurements in which the 2nd term is 1</em></u>

* <em>Lets find the unit rate of oats to quinoa</em>
∵ There are 2 cups of oats
∵ There is a 1/2 cup of quinoa
∵ We need the unit rate of oats to quinoa
- Divide the quantity of oats by the quantity of quinoa
∴ 2/(1/2) ⇒ multiply up and down by 2
∴ (2 × 2)/(1/2 × 2) = 4/1
∴ <u><em>The unit rate is 4 cups of oats per a cup of quinoa</em></u>
