Answer:

see below

Explanation:

3r=2

We know that r must be less than 1 because we are multiplying 3 by a number and getting 2

Taking a larger number and multiplying by r and getting a smaller number means the number must be less than 1

Divide each side by 3

3r/3 = 2/3

r = 2/3

2/3 is less than 1
