1 answer

The inequality for the given statement is:

5x < 12

To solve the inequality, we can divide both sides by 5:

(5x)/5 < 12/5
x < 12/5

To express 12/5 as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (12) by the denominator (5):

12 รท 5 = 2 remainder 2

So, 12/5 can be written as the mixed number 2 2/5.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is:

x < 2 2/5
