comes first.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5x < 8, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:

5x < 8
x < 8/5

Now to express the improper fraction 8/5 as a mixed number, we can divide 8 by 5:

8 ÷ 5 = 1 with a remainder of 3.

So, 8/5 as a mixed number is 1 3/5.

The final written inequality with x coming first is:

x < 1 3/5
