Answer 1

r ≤ 2 1/4

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties
• Rewriting Fractions

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

1 2/3 ≥ r - 7/12

Step 2: Solve for r

1. Rewrite: 5/3 ≥ r - 7/12
2. Isolate r: 9/4 ≥ r
3. Rewrite: r ≤ 9/4
4. Reduce: r ≤ 2 1/4

Here we see that any number r less than or equal to 2 1/4 will work as a solution to the inequality.
