Solve x/13 < 4/5

x < 10 2/5

X < 4/65

X > 52/5

x < 13 4/5

1 answer

To solve the inequality \( \frac{x}{13} < \frac{4}{5} \), we can start by isolating \( x \).

  1. Multiply both sides of the inequality by 13 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ x < 13 \cdot \frac{4}{5} \]

  1. Calculate the right side:

\[ 13 \cdot \frac{4}{5} = \frac{13 \cdot 4}{5} = \frac{52}{5} \]

So now we have:

\[ x < \frac{52}{5} \]

Converting \( \frac{52}{5} \) to a mixed number:

\[ \frac{52}{5} = 10 \frac{2}{5} \]

Thus, the solution to the inequality is:

\[ x < \frac{52}{5} \quad \text{or} \quad x < 10 \frac{2}{5} \]

Now, let's look at the options you provided:

  1. \( x < 10 \frac{2}{5} \) ✅ (This is correct)
  2. \( x < \frac{4}{65} \) ❌
  3. \( x > \frac{52}{5} \) ❌
  4. \( x < 13 \frac{4}{5} \) ❌ (This is not relevant to the solution)

The correct answer is \( x < 10 \frac{2}{5} \).
