Question

The volume of a rectangular prism is more than 156 cubic inches. The prism has a length of 8 inches and a width of 3 inches. Select an inequality that represents the height h (in inches) of the prism. Then graph the solution of the inequality.

Answer 1

h>6.5

Explanation:

8×3×h>156

Answer 2

The volume of a rectangular prism is Lwh.
V = Lwh = 8(3)h = 24h
156 < 24h
6.5 < h (this is the answer)
The graph will be a number line with an open circle on 6.5 and the line and arrow going to the right.
