To find out how many pounds of butter are used for 5 batches of cookies, you can multiply the amount of butter used per batch by the number of batches.

The bakery uses \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a pound of butter for each batch, and they are making 5 batches.

So, the calculation is:

\[
\frac{2}{3} \text{ pounds/batch} \times 5 \text{ batches} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ pounds}
\]

To convert \(\frac{10}{3}\) to a more readable number, divide 10 by 3:

\(\frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33\) pounds.

So, the bakery will use approximately **3.33** pounds of butter for 5 batches of cookies.
