Answer:2 batches of cookies yesterday.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Calculate how much oatmeal was used yesterday: 3/4 of a barrel.
2. Calculate how many batches of cookies were made using 3/4 of a barrel of oatmeal.
3. Determine the number of batches of cookies made in total.
Given:
- Each batch uses 3/8 of a barrel of oatmeal.
- The factory used 3/4 of a barrel of oatmeal yesterday.
Calculation:
1. 3/4 of a barrel is equivalent to (3/4) / (3/8) = (3/4) * (8/3) = 2 batches of cookies made yesterday.
2. Therefore, the factory made 2 batches of cookies yesterday
