Mateo has 6.5 cups of sugar. how many batches of cookies can he make if each batch requires 3/4 cups of sugar?

To do this, you would divide the amount of sugar he has by the amount needed for each batch.
to do this, you take 6.5 cups (amount of sugar) and multiply it by the reciprocal of 3/4. (the amount each batch requires)
6.5•4/3≈8.66
since he can’t make a fraction of a batch, mateo can make 6 batches of cookies.
