Answer: It will be made into 336 portions.

Step-by-step explanation:

42 divided into 1/8

42 = 42/1

When dividing fractions, we follow a rule called "Keep, change, flip"

You keep the first fraction, change the symbol into multiplication, and flip the second fractions.

42/1 * 8/1 = 336/1

Therefore, there will be 336 portions from every batch.
