To find out the unit rate

Divide the number of teaspoons by the total cups

so


4\colon(2)/(3)=(4*3)/(2)=6\text{ teaspoons per cup}

If the question asks for teaspoons per cup

then

you divide the number of teaspoons by the total cups

4: 2/3=6 teaspoons per cup

If the question asks for cups per teaspoon

then

you divide the number of cups by the number of teaspoons

so

2/3:4=2/12=1/6 cups per teaspoonon
