The unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds that Manny is using is 9 muffins per cup of almonds.
To find the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds, we need to divide the number of muffins by the number of cups of almonds.
Manny makes 36 muffins and uses 4 cups of almonds.
So, the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds is:
36 muffins ÷ 4 cups of almonds = 9 muffins
Therefore, the correct answer is 9 muffins.
To find the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds, we need to divide the total number of muffins Manny made by the number of cups of almonds he used.
Manny made 36 muffins and used 4 cups of almonds.
So, the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds is 36 muffins / 4 cups of almonds.
To simplify this unit rate, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4.
36 muffins ÷ 4 cups = 9 muffins ÷ 1 cup.
Therefore, the unit rate of muffins per cup of almonds that Manny is using is 9 muffins per 1 cup.
