To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we need to isolate x.

First, we can multiply both sides by 9 to get rid of the fraction:

5x < 8 * 9
5x < 72

Next, we can divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:

x < 72/5
x < 14.4

To write this as a mixed number, we can divide 72 by 5 to get the whole number part and the remainder:

72 ÷ 5 = 14 remainder 2

Therefore, x can be written as the mixed number 14 2/5.
