·
=

Explanation:

Step1: Define the relationship

Total dough = dough per batch × number of batches

Step2: Substitute given values

Let $d$ = dough for one batch ($12$ oz), $n$ = number of batches, $T$ = total amount of dough ($60$ oz).
The equation is:
$$12 \times n = 60$$
Or using the given labels:
$$\text{dough for one batch} \times \text{number of batches} = \text{total amount of dough}$$
Substituting the numbers:
$$12 \times n = 60$$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{12 \times n = 60}$ (or in label form: $\boldsymbol{\text{dough for one batch} \times \text{number of batches} = \text{total amount of dough}}$ with values substituted as $12 \times n = 60$)
