Answer: There are 30 batches of barbeque sauce that she can make by using the spice mixture.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tablespoons of her spice mixture =
7(1)/(2)=(15)/(2)

Number of tablespoons to make a batch of barbeque sauce =
(1)/(4)

so, the number of batches of barbeque sauce would be


(15)/(2)/ (1)/(4)\\\\=(15)/(2)* 4\\\\=15* 2\\\\=30

Hence, there are 30 batches of barbeque sauce that she can make by using the spice mixture.
