Consider the given inequality,
[tex]4-\frac{1}{8w}<16[/tex]Add -4 on both sides,
[tex]4-\frac{1}{8w}-4<16-4\Rightarrow\frac{-1}{8w}<12[/tex]Multiply both sides by -8, (the inequality sign will get changed),
[tex]\frac{1}{w}>-96[/tex]Take reciprocals of both the sides,
[tex]w<-\frac{1}{96}[/tex]Thus, the solution region contains all the points strictly less than negative 1/96.
The corresponding number line representation is given below,
