To find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches, we can set up a proportion.
If 3 batches of cookies make 42 cookies, then 1 batch of cookies would make 42/3 = 14 cookies.
Therefore, if the baker bakes 2 batches, the number of cookies made would be 2 x 14 = 28 cookies.
So the correct answer is 28 cookies.
To find the answer, we need to determine the number of cookies baked in each batch and then multiply it by the number of batches.
Given that the baker bakes 3 batches and makes 42 cookies, we can divide the total number of cookies by the number of batches to determine the number of cookies in each batch.
42 cookies / 3 batches = 14 cookies per batch
Now, to find out how many cookies will be made if the baker bakes 2 batches, we can simply multiply the number of cookies per batch by the number of batches.
14 cookies per batch x 2 batches = 28 cookies
Therefore, the correct answer is 28 cookies.
