2/3 tbsp/egg
3/2 egg/tbsp

thanks this was confusing
Well, I'll scramble to help you out ASAP! Here are two unit rates that could represent the recipe:
1. 2 tablespoons of milk for every 3 eggs. So, the unit rate would be 2 tablespoons / 3 eggs.
2. Alternatively, we can flip it around. 3 eggs for every 2 tablespoons of milk. So, the unit rate would be 3 eggs / 2 tablespoons.
Hope these help! Remember, scrambled eggs are egg-cellent any time of day!
To find the unit rates for the recipe, we need to determine how much milk is used for every egg.
The recipe states that 2 tablespoons of milk is used for every 3 eggs. So, we can set up a ratio:
2 tablespoons of milk : 3 eggs
To find the unit rate, we need to divide both sides of the ratio by the same amount to simplify.
Unit rate 1: Dividing both sides by 3, we get
2 tablespoons of milk ÷ 3 eggs = 2/3 tablespoon of milk per egg
Unit rate 2: Dividing both sides by 2, we get
2 tablespoons of milk ÷ 2 = 1 tablespoon of milk per 3/2 (or 1.5) eggs
So, the two unit rates that could represent the recipe are:
1. 2/3 tablespoon of milk per egg
2. 1 tablespoon of milk per 1.5 eggs
