Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

1 2/3 ≥ r - 7/12

Step 2: Solve for r

Rewrite:                    5/3 ≥ r - 7/12

Isolate r:                    9/4 ≥ r

Rewrite:                    r ≤ 9/4

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.
