The user mangled the question. I read it as

4.5 + x/3 <= 38.9
x/3 <= 34.4
x <= 103.2

To find the possible values of the number, we can set up an equation using the given information.

Let's assume the number is represented by 'x'.

The sum of 4.5 and 1/3 of the number can be written as: 4.5 + (1/3)x

According to the problem, this sum is equal to 38.9.

So, we can write the equation as: 4.5 + (1/3)x = 38.9

To solve this equation, we can subtract 4.5 from both sides to isolate the term with 'x':

(1/3)x = 38.9 - 4.5

Simplifying the right side, we have:

(1/3)x = 34.4

To get rid of the fraction coefficient on 'x', we can multiply both sides by 3:

3 * (1/3)x = 3 * 34.4

This simplifies to:

x = 103.2

Therefore, the possible value of the number is x = 103.2.

The equation used to solve this problem is: 4.5 + (1/3)x = 38.9

Apologies for the confusion. If the question is interpreted as 4.5 + x/3 ≤ 38.9, then the steps to find the possible values of 'x' are as follows:

To solve the inequality, we can start by subtracting 4.5 from both sides:

4.5 + x/3 - 4.5 ≤ 38.9 - 4.5

This simplifies to:

x/3 ≤ 34.4

To isolate 'x', we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 3 (since we are dividing by 1/3):

3 * (x/3) ≤ 3 * 34.4

This results in:

x ≤ 103.2

Therefore, the possible values of the number 'x' that satisfy the inequality 4.5 + x/3 ≤ 38.9 are x ≤ 103.2.
