Lionel has at most cups of flour to bake tortillas and a loaf of bread. Lionel uses cups of flour to make the loaf of bread.

Question

If each batch of tortillas takes cups of flour, how many batches of tortillas, x, can Lionel bake? Select the inequality that includes the maximum number of batches of tortillas Lionel can bake.
A.

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

The correct inequality would be:

\(\frac{(x)(2) + 3}{3} \leq 7\)

This is because Lionel uses \(2\) cups of flour for each batch of tortillas and \(3\) cups for the loaf of bread, with a total of \(7\) cups of flour available.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. \(\frac{(x)(2) + 3}{3} \leq 7\)
