A pint 16 oz how would you write and inequality that represents the number of pints of sparkling water, p, that can be poured into a 250 oz punchbowl without completely filling it?

Answer 1

To represent the number of pints of sparkling water, p, that can be poured into a 250 oz punchbowl without completely filling it, we can write the following inequality:

16p < 250

This inequality states that the number of pints of sparkling water, represented as p, multiplied by 16 oz (the amount in 1 pint) must be less than 250 oz, the capacity of the punchbowl.
