Let's represent the number as "x". According to the given information, one-third of the number (x/3) is at most five.
Inequality:
(x/3) ≤ 5
To solve this inequality, we can multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
3 * (x/3) ≤ 3 * 5
x ≤ 15
Therefore, all the numbers x that satisfy the inequality are less than or equal to 15.
