Answer:

B) r less-than-or-equal-to 2 and one-fourth

Explanation:

Given the inequality
1 (2)/(3)\geq r-(7)/(12), the solution to the inequality is as shown below;

Step 1: Add
(7)/(12) to both sides of the equation and sove


1 (2)/(3) + (7)/(12) \geq r-(7)/(12)+(7)/(12)\\(5)/(3) + (7)/(12)\geq r\\(20+7)/(12) \geq r\\(27)/(12)\geq r\\r\leq (27)/(12) \\r\leq (9)/(4)\\r\leq 2(1)/(4)

The solution to the inequality is r less-than-or-equal-to 2 and one-fourth
