1. **State the problem:** We are given two strip diagrams representing cups of vegetables and cups of butter. The top strip has 5 segments (4 shaded, 1 unshaded) representing cups of vegetables. The bottom strip has 6 segments (all shaded) representing cups of butter. 2. **What is asked:** Find how many cups of vegetables correspond to every 1 cup of butter. 3. **Understanding the ratio:** The ratio of vegetables to butter is the number of vegetable segments to butter segments. 4. **Calculate the ratio:** Vegetables = 5 segments Butter = 6 segments Ratio = \frac{5}{6} 5. **Express ratio per 1 cup of butter:** We want cups of vegetables per 1 cup of butter, so divide both parts by 6: $$\frac{5}{6} \div \frac{6}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{5}{6}$$ 6. **Interpretation:** For every 1 cup of butter, there are $\frac{5}{6}$ cups of vegetables. **Final answer:** There are $\frac{5}{6}$ cups of vegetables for every 1 cup of butter.
