Answer:
12 = 3 + 1 1/2x
Number of batches of cookies = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cups of flour = 12 cups
Flour needed for bread = 3 cups
Flour needed for each batch of cookies = 1 1/2 cups
Number of batches of cookies = x
12 = 3 + 1 1/2x
12 – 3 = 1 1/2x
9 = 3/2x
x = 9 ÷ 3/2
= 9 × 2/3
= 18/3
x = 6
Number of batches of cookies = 6
