Proportion question. You would assume that the ingredient mixing has already been done, and the baking part is placement of a set of portions into the oven for chosen amount of time.

{1 batch}/{3/4 hours} = {p batches}/{average of 5 1/4 and 6 3/4 hours}

1%2F%283%2F4%29=p%2F6
6%2F%283%2F4%29=p
p=24%2F3=8
p=8 batches of cookies
