Answer:
The baker made 3 batches of cookies using 5.25 cups of flour and the bakes made 180 cookies.
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of batches of cookies uses 1.75 cups = 1
No. of batches of cookies uses 1 cup of flour = [tex]\frac{1}{1.75}[/tex]
No. of batches of cookies uses 5.25 cup of flour = [tex]\frac{1}{1.75} \times 5.25[/tex]
= [tex]3[/tex]
So, the baker made 3 batches of cookies using 5.25 cups of flour
Now we are given that 1 batch contains 5 dozen cookies.
1 dozen = 12 cookies
So, 5 dozen = 12*5 = 60 cookies
So, 1 batch contains 60 cookies
So, 3 batches contains amount of cookies = [tex]60 \times 3 = 180[/tex]
Hence the baker made 3 batches of cookies using 5.25 cups of flour and the bakes made 180 cookies.
