To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to get rid of the fraction:

9 * (5x/9) < 9 * 8

Simplifying, we have:
5x < 72

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for x:
(5/5)x < 72/5

Simplifying further, we get:
x < 14.4

So, the solution to the inequality is:
x < 14.4

Written as a mixed number, x would be 14 2/5.
