The number of batches of cookies Jonathan can make is 10 1/2 batches

Here, we want to calculate the number of cookies batches that could be made by Jonathan

To do this, we divide the total cups available by the number of cups needed for one batch

Mathematically, we have this as follows;


\begin{gathered} 3\text{ }(1)/(2)\text{ divided by }(1)/(3) \\ \\ =\text{ }(7)/(2)*\text{ }(3)/(1)\text{ = 10 }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}
