Question

Answer 1

t > 47

Explanation:

Tara is taller than Jeff. Jeff is 47 inches tall.

We need to write an inequality that compares Tara's height to Jeff's height

Let t be the height of Tara

and j be the height of Jeff

Tara is taller than Jeff, we use greater than symbol for taller

So inequality becomes t > j

Given Jeff is 47 inches tall, so replace 'j' with 47

Answer is t > 47
