To solve the inequality 5x < 12, we need to isolate x by dividing both sides of the inequality by 5.
5x/5 < 12/5
x < 12/5
Now, let's write the improper fraction 12/5 as a mixed number:
12 รท 5 = 2 remainder 2
Therefore, 12/5 can be written as the mixed number 2 2/5.
The solution to the inequality 5x < 12, written as a mixed number, is x < 2 2/5.
