Solution

We know that an equation is a mathematical statement that is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.
Given $\frac{3 q}{2} < 5$
Since, $\frac{3 q}{2} < 5$ is not an equation as it does not have an equal sign $(=)$ between the expressions on LHS and RHS.
It is inequality.
Therefore, $\frac{3 q}{2} < 5$ is not an equation.
