Solution

The factory used 3/5 of a bag of flour. Each batch of biscuits uses 1/5 of a bag of flour.

To find out how many batches of biscuits the factory made, you divide the total amount of flour used by the amount of flour used per batch.

So, 3/5 ÷ 1/5 = 3.

Therefore, the factory made 3 batches of biscuits.
