Final answer:
Each batch of oatmeal cookies requires 6 cups of flour.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many cups of flour are needed for each batch of oatmeal cookies, we first need to calculate the total cups of flour used for the chocolate chip cookies.
Since each batch of chocolate chip cookies uses 2 1/4 cups of flour, the total cups of flour used for 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies is -
3 x 2 1/4
= 6 3/4 cups.
Next, we subtract the total cups of flour used for the chocolate chip cookies from the total cups of flour used for all 6 batches, which is -
12 3/4 cups:
12 3/4 - 6 3/4 = 6 cups.
Therefore, each batch of oatmeal cookies requires 6 cups of flour.
