Question

a teacher buys a 128-ounce bottle of juice and serves it in 5-ounce cups. What are the possible numbers of cups she can fill?

Answer 1

Answer:25

Explanation:

128~ 125

125÷5= 25

25 full cups

Answer 2

25 or less cups.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of cups.

We have been given that a teacher buys a 128-ounce bottle of juice and serves it in 5-ounce cups.

The amount used to fill x cups would be
`5x`.

The total amount used to fill x cups will be less than or equal to 128.

We can represent this information in an inequality as:

`5x\leq 128`

`(5x)/(5)\leq (128)/(5)`

`x\leq 25.6`

Since the nearest whole number to 25.6 is 25, therefore, teacher can fill 25 or less cups.
