Answer 1

Option A

The unit rate for bag of potatoes per gallon is 2 bags per gallon

Solution:

Given that, Chef Alex used 3/4 of a bag of potatoes to make 3/8 of a gallon of stew

From given,

$Bag\ of\ potatoes = \frac{3}{4}\\\\Gallon\ of\ stew = \frac{3}{8}$

To find:  unit rate for bag of potatoes per gallon

Therefore, unit rate is found by dividing bag of potatoes by gallon of stew

$\frac{\text{Bag of potatoes}}{gallon} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{3}{8}}\\\\\frac{\text{Bag of potatoes}}{gallon} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{3}\\\\\frac{\text{Bag of potatoes}}{gallon} = 2$

Thus, unit rate for bag of potatoes per gallon is 2 bags per gallon
