    3 batches of biscuits.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For one batch of biscuits, Mito uses 1/4 cup of flour to coat the countertop and the rolling pin. He also uses 2 1/2 cups of flour for each batch of biscuits he bakes

    When he uses 7 3/4 cups of flour

    Let the number of batches = x

    convert the given data to decimal:

    2 1/2 = 2.5 and 1/4 = 0.25 and 7 3/4 = 7.75

    So, the equation representing the problem is:

    2.5 x + 0.25 = 7.75

    Solve for x

    2.5x = 7.75 - 0.25 = 7.5

    x=7.5/2.5 = 75/25 = 3

    So, the number of batches of biscuits = 3 batches.
