Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cups of chocolate available = 7 1/3 cups

each batch uses 2/3 of a cup of chocolate

To get the number of batches of muffin Jim can bake, we will use the equality postulate.

1 batch = 2/3 cup of a chocolate

x batch = 7 1/3 cups of chocolate

Cross multiply

2/3 x = 7 1/3

2/3 x = 22/3

cross multiply

2x * 3 = 3 * 22

6x = 66

x = 66/6

x = 11

Hence Jim can bake at most 11 batches of muffins
