Answer:
[tex]5\ batches\ of\ cookies[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Karl makes 7 1/2 batches of cookies using 1 1/2 dozen eggs
so using proportion
Find out how many batches of cookies could he make with a dozen eggs
step 1
Convert mixed numbers to an improper fraction
[tex]7\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7*2+1}{2}=\frac{15}{2}[/tex]
[tex]1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
step 2
Applying proportion
Let
x ----> the amount of batches of cookies
[tex]\frac{(15/2)}{(3/2)}\frac{batches}{dozen\ eggs}=\frac{x}{1}\frac{batches}{dozen\ eggs}\\\\x=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5\ batches\ of\ cookies[/tex]
