To write an inequality representing the number of pints of sparkling water that can be poured into a 250 oz. punchbowl without completely filling it, we can set up the following equation:

16p < 250

This inequality states that the number of pints of sparkling water (p) multiplied by 16 (to convert pints to ounces) must be less than 250 ounces in order to not completely fill the punchbowl.
