A cookie recipe calls for 1/3 of a cup of sugar and 1 1/2 cups of flour.

We need to find the unit rate of flour to sugar for the cookie recipe. It can be calculated as follows :

`U=\frac{\text{No of cups of flour}}{\text{No of cups of sugar}}\\\\=(1(1)/(2))/((1)/(3))\\\\=((3)/(2))/((1)/(3))\\\\=(3)/(2)* 3\\\\=4.5`

So, the unit rate of flour to sugar for the cookie recipe is 4.5
