Corey has 16 cups of flour to make cookies. One batch of cookies takes 2 1/2 cups of flour. If he must save 6 cups of flour for other baking, write and solve an inequality to find out how many batches of cookies he can

16-6=10
2.5x=10
Divide by 2.5
X=4

Corey can make 4 batches.

I hope this helps:)
