    A. 4 batches of Cookies

    4 batches of Cupcakes.

    B. 48 servings.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A.

    To make a batch of:

    Cookies:

    2 eggs

    4 cups of flower

    Cupcakes:

    4 eggs

    3 cups of flower

    Kari has 2 dozen of eggs (2*12) and 30 cups of flour.

    Let the eggs and cups of flour be denoted as X and Y respectively.

    Cookies: 2X + 4Y

    Cupcakes: 4X + 3Y

    Since Kari has 24 X and 30 Y, (Expressed as whole numbers).

    2X + 4X = 24,

    X = 4

    4Y + 3Y = 30

    Y = 4

    Therefore, the maximum amount of batches is:

    4 batches of Cookies

    4 batches of Cupcakes.

    B.

    Since, 1 batch of Cookies + 1 batch of Cupcakes = 12 servings

    Therefore, 4 batch of Cookies + 4 batch of Cupcakes = (12*4) servings

    = 48 servings.
