Solve 5x/9<8 . Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 9 to clear the fraction:

5x < 8 * 9

Simplifying, we have:

5x < 72

Next, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:

x < 72 / 5

Dividing 72 by 5, we have:

x < 14.4

Since the answer must be in the form of a mixed number, we can write it as:

x < 14 2/5
