Explanation:

Step1: Select correct inequality

The problem states "more than 8 fluid ounces in each cup", so the inequality is $\frac{x}{50} > 8$.

Step2: Isolate x via multiplication

Multiply both sides by 50 to solve for x.
$\frac{x}{50} \times 50 > 8 \times 50$

Step3: Simplify to find solution

Calculate the right-hand side to get the value of x.
$x > 400$

Answer:

Correct inequality: $\frac{x}{50} > 8$
Completed sentence: Lexi made more than 400 fluid ounces of punch.
