To determine how many batches of the recipe Kip can make, we first need to convert the amount of lemon juice he has into cups.
Since there are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup, we can convert the 6 fluid ounces of lemon juice to cups:
\[
\text{Cups of lemon juice} = \frac{\text{Fluid ounces}}{8 \text{ fluid ounces/cup}} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \text{ cups}
\]
Next, we need to find out how many batches Kip can make with the amount of lemon juice he has, which is \( \frac{3}{4} \) cups. The recipe calls for \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup of lemon juice per batch.
To find the number of batches, we divide the total amount of lemon juice by the amount required for one batch:
\[
\text{Number of batches} = \frac{\text{Total lemon juice (in cups)}}{\text{Lemon juice per batch}} = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}} = 3
\]
Thus, Kip can make **3 batches** of the recipe.
The correct answer is: **c. 3 batches**.
