Question

Write 3/4 cup per 1/2serving as a unit rate.

Select the correct choice below:

A.3/8cup per serving.

B. 1/4 cup per serving.

C.) 2/3cup per serving.

D. 3/2 cups per serving.

Answer 1

To write 3/4 cup per 1/2 serving as a unit rate, divide the numerator by the denominator to find the value of 1 serving (1 1/2 cups). Then, write the unit rate as 1/2 cup per 1 serving. Therefore, the correct choice is B. 1/2 cup per serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 3/4 cup per 1/2 serving to a unit rate, we need to find out how much is in one serving. First, we need to understand that if we have 3/4 cup for every 1/2 of a serving, for a full serving (which is double 1/2), we need to double the 3/4 cup. To write 3/4 cup per 1/2 serving as a unit rate, we need to find the equivalent unit rate.

1. First, divide the numerator by the denominator to find the value of 1 serving: 3/4 ÷ 1/2 = 3/4 × 2/1 = 3/2 = 1 1/2 cups.
2. Next, write the unit rate: 3/4 cup per 1 1/2 cups.
3. Finally, simplify the unit rate: 3/4 cup per 1 1/2 cups is equivalent to 1/2 cup per 1 serving.

Therefore, the correct choice is B. 1/2 cup per serving.
