THE ANSWER IS C 1 1/8

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C is correct

$1\frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity as 1 such as 3 meter per second or 4 feet per seconds.

As per the statement:

Chef Johnson used 4 1/2 cups of flour to make 4 fruit cakes.

By unit rate definition we have;

$\text{Unit rate per fruit cake}=\frac{\text{Number of cups of flour used}}{\text{Number of fruit cakes}}$

Substitute the given values we have;

$\text{Unit rate per fruit cake}=\frac{\frac{9}{2}}{4}$

⇒$\text{Unit rate per fruit cake}=\frac{9}{8}=1\frac{1}{8}$ cups of flour

Therefore, $1\frac{1}{8}$  cups of flour are needed for 1 fruit cake.
