Answer:

-6 ≥ r

Step-by-step explanation:

–5 ≥ 5 (r+5)

Divide each side by 5

–5/5 ≥ 5/5 (r+5)

–1 ≥ (r+5)

Subtract 5 from each side

-1-5 ≥ r+5-5

-6 ≥ r

Answer:

$(3/4)$ and $(2/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fraction of the form $(p / q)$ , the number in front of the division ( $p$ ) is the numerator. The number after the division ( $q$ ) is the denominator.

$\begin{aligned} \frac{p}{q} \quad \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{numerator})}{(\text{denominator})}\end{aligned}$ .

A positive fraction $(p/q)$ ( $p,\, q > 0$ ) is less than $1$ as long as the numerator $p$ is smaller than the denominator $q$ (that is, $p < q$ .) The reason is that as long as $p,\, q > 0$ :

$\begin{aligned} & \frac{p}{q} < 1 \\ \iff & (q)\, \left(\frac{p}{q}\right) < (q)\, (1) && (\text{given that $q > 0$}) \\ \iff & p < q\end{aligned}$ .

For example, in the fraction $(2/3)$ , $2$ is the numerator while $3$ is the denominator. Both the numerator and the denominator are positive, while the numerator $2\!$ is smaller than the denominator $3\!$ . Therefore, $(2/3)$ would be less than $1$ .
