Answer: 11 batches of muffins

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Jim is baking chocolate chip muffins and that he has a total of 7 1/3 cups of chocolate chips, and each batch of muffins uses 2/3 of a cup of chocolate chips.

The most number of batches of muffins that Jim can make will be gotten by dividing 7 1/3 by 2/3. This will be:

= 7 1/3 ÷ 2/3

= 22/3 ÷ 2/3

= 22/3 × 3/2

= 11

Jim can make 11 batches of muffins.
