Solve 5x/9<8 . Write the improper fraction in your answer as a mixed number. Make sure to write your inequality so that x comes first.
Note: You will find the option to add a >
, <
, ≥
, or ≤
symbol in the Comparison (<)
keyboard.
To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9/5.
(9/5)(5x/9) < (9/5)(8)
Simplifying, we get:
x < (72/5)
To write the improper fraction (72/5) as a mixed number, we divide the numerator (72) by the denominator (5):
72 ÷ 5 = 14 remainder 2
Therefore, (72/5) as a mixed number is 14 2/5.
The inequality in the form x < mixed number is:
x < 14 2/5.
