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 [tex]5x[/tex].
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:
[tex]5x\leq 128[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5x}{5}\leq \frac{128}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x\leq 25.6[/tex]
Since the nearest whole number to 25.6 is 25, therefore, teacher can fill 25 or less cups.
