To get the number of batches Patrick can make, we'll divide the amount of flour Patrick has by the amount of flour needed for one batch.
Amount of flour Patrick has = 7/10
Amount of flour required for one batch = 1/8
We'll divide 7/10 by 1/8:
(7/10) ÷ (1/8) = (7/10) × (8/1) = 7 × 8 / 10 = 56/10 = 5 and 6/10 = 5 + 6/10.
Hence, Patrick can make 5 whole batches of biscuits.
