Answer

$\text{the interval } \left( \dfrac{7}{8},\dfrac{27}{20} \right] $

Work Step by Step

Using compound inequalities, the solution to the given inequality, $ \dfrac{1}{6} \lt \dfrac{4x-3}{3} \le \dfrac{4}{5} ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{1}{6}\cdot3 \lt \dfrac{4x-3}{3}\cdot3 \le \dfrac{4}{5}\cdot3 \\\\ \dfrac{1}{2} \lt 4x-3 \le \dfrac{12}{5} \\\\ \dfrac{1}{2}+3 \lt 4x-3+3 \le \dfrac{12}{5}+3 \\\\ \dfrac{7}{2} \lt 4x \le \dfrac{27}{5} \\\\ \dfrac{\dfrac{7}{2}}{4} \lt \dfrac{4}{4}x \le \dfrac{\dfrac{27}{5}}{4} \\\\ \dfrac{7}{8} \lt x \le \dfrac{27}{20} .\end{array} In interval notation, the solution is $ \text{the interval } \left( \dfrac{7}{8},\dfrac{27}{20} \right] .$
