No. Of batches she can cook = 111/5÷17/2
=111/5×2/17
=2 52/85

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:
We know that she needs around 8 1/2 grams of vanilla paste per batch which we can write as 17/2
And she has 22 1/5 grams vanilla paste so we can write it as 111/5
Now we will solve the question with these fractions
111/5 / 17/2 = 222/85
= 2^ 3/5
Which means she can bake around 2^3/5 batches of cookies with the provided material.
