Answer:

b. 1.129 inch

Explanation:

If the pan were completely filled, it would hold ...

(7 in)(11 in)(2 in) = 154 in^3

of batter, or ...

(154 in^3)(0.069 cups/in^3) = 10.626 cups

Since it is filled with only 6 cups, and the depth is proportional to the volume, the depth is ...

depth/(2 in) = (6 cups)/(10.626 cups)

Multiplying by 2 in, we get ...

depth = (2 in)(6/10.626) = 12/10.626 in

depth ≈ 1.129 in
