Answer:

  2 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

(72 lb)/(34 lb/bat) = 2 2/17 bat

___

72 ÷ 34 = 2 remainder 4.

Mateo can make 2 full batches, and will have 4 pounds of apples remaining.

The fraction 4/34 can be reduced to 2/17. That is the fraction of a batch that Mateo could make with the extra 4 lbs. of apples.
