Answer 2

Answer:

25 or less cups.

Step-by-step 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:

$5x\leq 128$

$\frac{5x}{5}\leq \frac{128}{5}$

$x\leq 25.6$

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