To solve the inequality:

\[
\frac{q}{2} < 5
\]

Multiply both sides by 2 to isolate \( q \):

\[
q < 10
\]

So, the solution is \( q < 10 \).

Here are 5 related questions to explore this concept further:
1. What happens if you reverse the inequality sign in \( \frac{q}{2} > 5 \)?
2. How do you solve \( \frac{q}{3} < 7 \)?
3. What is the solution to \( \frac{q+1}{2} < 6 \)?
4. How would you solve \( \frac{2q}{3} \geq 4 \)?
5. What is the solution to \( -\frac{q}{2} < 5 \)?

**Tip**: When solving inequalities, if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.
