Solve 5x/9<8 . Write your answer as a mixed number.
To solve the inequality, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 9 to clear the fraction:
5x < 8 * 9
Simplifying, we have:
5x < 72
Next, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:
x < 72 / 5
Dividing 72 by 5, we have:
x < 14.4
Since the answer must be in the form of a mixed number, we can write it as:
x < 14 2/5
