1.

The inequality that the question represents, is the following


2.5+5B\leq21

2.

We must calculate the inequality when it is equal to $ 21, that is, the following equation would remain


\begin{gathered} 2.5+5B=21 \\ 5B=21-2.5 \\ B=(18.5)/(5) \\ B=3.7 \end{gathered}

Therefore, since it is not enough to buy all 4, you can buy 3 bags, the total of avocado would be:


A=3\cdot3=9

in total, the largest number of avocados is 9
