Final answer:

The unit rate for the amount of cookies per batch is 12 cookies per batch, which is found by dividing 48 cookies by 4 batches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate for the amount of cookies per batch that Jimmy can make is found by dividing the total number of cookies by the number of batches. Jimmy is able to make a total of 48 cookies from 4 batches of ingredients.

To find the unit rate, we use the following calculation:

  1. Divide the total number of cookies (48) by the number of batches (4).
  2. The calculation will be 48 cookies ÷ 4 batches = 12 cookies per batch.

Therefore, the unit rate is 12 cookies per batch.
