Answer 1

`124(3)/(5)\text{ cups of flour}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cups of flour needed for each batch of bread.

We can go ahead and solve for x as shown below;

`\begin{gathered} 623\text{ cups of flour }\rightarrow\text{ 5 batches of bread} \\ x\text{ cups of flour }\rightarrow\text{ 1 batch of bread} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} 5x=623 \\ x=(623)/(5) \\ x=124(3)/(5)\text{cups of flour} \end{gathered}`
