To rewrite the inequality so that x comes first, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 5 first:

(5x/9) / 5 < 8 / 5

Simplifying, we have:

x/9 < 8/5

Now, to express the improper fraction as a mixed number, we need to divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (5). The quotient is 1 with a remainder of 3:

1 remainder 3/5

Therefore, the mixed number representation of 8/5 is 1 3/5. Substituting this into the inequality, we have:

x/9 < 1 3/5
