Will brought a 144-ounce cooler filled with water to soccer practice. He used 16 ounces from the cooler to fill his water bottle. He then took out 16 plastic cups for his teammates and poured the same amount of water into each cup.

Find the number of ounces of water, x, that Will could have poured into each cup.

To solve this problem, we need to figure out how many ounces of water Will could pour into each cup. He started with a cooler filled with 144 ounces of water.

Then, he took out 16 ounces for his own water bottle. So, he had 144 - 16 = 128 ounces left.

Since he poured the same amount of water into each of the 16 cups, we can divide the total remaining ounces by the number of cups to find out how many ounces each cup contains:

[tex]\[ \frac{128}{16} = 8 \][/tex]

So, Will could have poured 8 ounces of water into each cup.

Therefore, the correct inequality is:

8 > 6

Answer:

x ≤ 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Will first used 16 of the 144 ounces for his own water bottle. This leaves 144-16 = 128 ounces.

Dividing that equally amount 16 plastic cups, each cup would have at most

128/16 = 8 ounces.

This means each one would have x ≤ 8 ounces.
