Answer 1

23 batches of cookies

Explanation:

I think this problem is kind of straightforward:

1 bag = 23 cups

1 batch = 1 cup

We need to find how many batches = 1 bag

To find that out, we have to divide bags by batches, but we don't know the number of batches yet. (Also, they're not the same units)

Instead, we can use the respective cups of sugar to divide (because they do have the same units)

So we divide the number of cups of sugar in a bag (23) by the number of cups in a batch (1):

23 ÷ 1 = 23 batches

I hope this explanation was simple enough

Answer 2

Answer: 1 batch

Explanation:

1 batch = 24 - 36 cookies

So here we have 23 cups of sugar, and we know that each chocolate chip cookie uses 1 cup, so we can only make 23 cookies

Which is only 1 batch of cookies can be made.
