Answer 1

wrong

Answer 2

wrong

Answer 3

5x < 8

To solve the inequality, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:

(5x)/5 < 8/5

x < 1.6

Now, let's write the decimal as a mixed number. 1.6 is equivalent to 1 3/5.

Therefore, the solution written as a mixed number is:

x < 1 3/5

Answer 4

I apologize for the mistake.

To solve the inequality, we start by dividing both sides by 5:

5x/9 < 8/9

x < 8/9

To write the improper fraction as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (9):

8 ÷ 9 = 0 remainder 8

The quotient is 0 and the remainder is 8. Therefore, the mixed number is 0 8/9.

Therefore, the solution is:

x < 0 8/9

Answer 5

Apologies again for the mistake.

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

We can do this by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5:

(5x)/5 < 8/5

Simplifying, we have:

x < 8/5

To write the improper fraction as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (8) by the denominator (5):

8 ÷ 5 = 1 remainder 3

The quotient is 1 and the remainder is 3. Therefore, the mixed number is 1 3/5.

Therefore, the solution is:

x < 1 3/5
