Two-thirds of a number is less than eight. Find the largest integer that will satisfy the inequality.
A. 12
B. 11
C. 10
D. 13

First find: two-thirds of x is eight. Once you do that, the solution to: "Two-thirds of a number is less than eight" would be any number less than x.

"Two-thirds of a number is less than eight"---the number is less than x, which is 12, so it would anything 11 and under.

So the largest integer to satisfy that would be 11.
