Answer:

56 ounces

Explanation:

This is what I'll do so you can see how to do it.

7 ounces ---> 1/8 batch

14 ounces ----> 2/8 batch

21 ounces ---> 3/8 batch

28 ounces ----> 4/8 batch

35 ounces ---> 5/8 batch

42 ounces ---> 6/8 batch

49 ounces ----> 7/8 batch

56 ounces ----> 8/8 batch

OR...

You could have just done 7 * 8 = 56

Hope this helps ya!!!
