The solution to the inequality 5x/9 < 8 can be found by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9/5 to eliminate the fraction:
5x/9 < 8
(9/5)(5x/9) < (9/5)(8)
x < 72/5
To write 72/5 as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (72) by the denominator (5):
72 ÷ 5 = 14 with a remainder of 2
Therefore, the solution can be written as:
x < 14 2/5
