\text{unit rate =}2\frac{tablespoon}{\text{serving}}

Step-by-step explanation

A unit rate is a rate where the bottom number is 1 (also called a single-unit rate),it can be found using the expression


\text{unit rate = }\frac{total\text{ amount}}{\text{total el}emets}

Step 1

Let

total amount = 3 tablespoons

total elements = 1.5 serving, so replacing


\begin{gathered} \text{unit rate = }\frac{total\text{ amount}}{\text{total el}emets} \\ \text{unit rate =}\frac{3\text{ tablespoons}}{1.5\text{ servings}}=2\text{ tablespoons per serving} \\ \text{unit rate =}2\frac{tablespoon}{\text{serving}} \end{gathered}

therefore, the answer is


\text{unit rate =}2\frac{tablespoon}{\text{serving}}

I hope this helps you
