To solve the problem "Eight is less than twice what number?" we need to translate the given statement into a mathematical inequality.

Let [tex]\( n \)[/tex] be the number we are looking for. The phrase "twice what number" translates to [tex]\( 2n \)[/tex].

The complete statement "Eight is less than twice what number?" can be translated into the inequality:

[tex]\[ 8 < 2n \][/tex]

So, the correct translation of the given problem into an inequality is:

[tex]\[ 8 < 2n \][/tex]

This inequality states that eight is less than twice the unknown number [tex]\( n \)[/tex].
