Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".

The sum of 4.5 and one-third of x is given by: 4.5 + (1/3)x.

According to the problem, this sum is equal to at most 38.9. "At most" means that the value must be less than or equal to 38.9.

So, we can write the inequality as follows:

4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 38.9
1/3n+4.5≤38.9,Where N is equal to the number
Correct! The inequality is:
1/3n + 4.5 ≤ 38.9, where n represents the number we are trying to find.
