Let's represent the number as "x".
According to the problem, the sum of 4.5 and one-third of the number is equal to at most 38.9. Mathematically, this can be written as:
4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 38.9
To solve this inequality, we can simplify it by subtracting 4.5 from both sides:
(1/3)x ≤ 34.4
Finally, we can multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x ≤ 103.2
So, all the possible values for the number "x" are any value less than or equal to 103.2.
