Question

I use a total of 1 1/5 cups of flours to make 5 batches of cookies how much flour was in each batch

Answer 1

$\frac{6}{25}\text{cups of flour per batch}$

Explanation

Step 1

Let

total cups

$\begin{gathered} 1\text{ }\frac{1}{5}=\frac{(1\cdot5)+1}{5}=\frac{5+1}{5}=\frac{6}{5} \\ \end{gathered}$

and

total batches=5

so, to find out how much flour is in each batch do a division

$\text{flour per bath=}\frac{\frac{6}{5}cups\text{ of flour}}{5}=\frac{6}{25}\text{cups of flour per batch}$

I hope this helps yo
