2 3/4

Answer:

[tex]3 \: batches[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of batches you can make with

[tex]2 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

cups of sugar you have divide

[tex]2 \frac{3}{4} \: by \: \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

First change two and three-quarter into an improper fraction, then divide:

[tex]2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \\ \\ \frac{11}{4} \div \frac{3}{4} = \: \: \frac{11}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{11}{3} \: or \: 3 \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Since you cannot have two-third a cookie you have to round the answer down to 3.
