1. **State the problem:** Supriya uses 12 oz of dough to make one batch of papadums. She has 60 oz of dough in total and wants to find out how many batches she can make. 2. **Write the multiplication equation:** Let $x$ be the number of batches. The total dough used is the dough per batch multiplied by the number of batches: $$12 \times x = 60$$ 3. **Solve for $x$:** Divide both sides by 12 to isolate $x$: $$\frac{\cancel{12} \times x}{\cancel{12}} = \frac{60}{12}$$ Simplifying: $$x = 5$$ 4. **Interpretation:** Supriya can make 5 batches of papadums with 60 oz of dough. **Final answer:** $x = 5$ batches.
