To solve the inequality 5x/9 < 8, we need to isolate x.

First, we can start by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 9 to get rid of the fraction:

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

This simplifies to:

5x < 72

Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to isolate x:

(5x)/5 < 72/5

This simplifies to:

x < 14.4

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