Your inequality is the amount of cheese on the pizzas is less than or equal to (<=) the total amount of cheese. The number of pizzas is unknown, so call it p. 6 is the number of pizzas for one sample situation, not for the general situation.

In general the number of pizzas, p, times the cheese per pizza, .75, = the total cheese used. That must be less than or equal to 4.

.75p <= 4

p <= 4/.75 <= 5.33 You can make 5 and 1/3 pizzas with 4 pounds of cheese. You don't have enough cheese for 6 pizzas.
