Answer:
2 batches
Step-by-step explanation:
A cookie factory uses 1 1/3 barrels of oatmeal in each batch of cookies
The factory used 2 2/3 barrels of oatmeal yesterday
Therefore the batches of cookies that were made yesterday can be calculated as follows
1 batch= 1 1/3 barrels
x = 2 2/3 barrels
Cross multiply
4/3 x = 8/3
x= 8/3 ÷ 4/3
x = 8/3 × 3/4
x= 2
Hence 2 batches will be produced
