Answer:

3/7 bags of flour

Explanation:

Things we know:

Carmen uses 2/7 bag of flour to make 1/2 of a batch

To make 1 batch she will use :

2/7 flour/1/2 batch = x flour/1batch

2/7 = 1/2x

1/7 = x

We need 1/7 flour to make 1 batch of cookie

If 1 batch uses 1/7 of the flour then 3 batchs will need:

1/7 flour/1batch = x flour/3 batch

1/7 * 3 = x

3/7 = x

Therefore we need 3/7 flour to make 3 batches of cookies.
