Question

Aisha needs to be at least 48 inches tall to ride the colossal coaster at the amusement park. If she grows 5 inches during the next year, Aisha will still not be tall enough to ride. In the context of this situation, what does the inequality represent?

Answer 1

the answer is Aisha is less than 43 inches tall right now.

Answer 2

The inequality represents that height of Aisha is less than 48 inches.

Explanation:

Aisha needs to be at least 48 inches tall to ride the colossal coaster at the amusement park.

Let she is x inches tall at present

She grows 5 inches during the next year

So, Her height after 1 year = x+5 inches

Since we are given that Aisha will still not be tall enough to ride.

`\Rightarrow x+5<48`

Thus the inequality represents that height of Aisha is less than 48 inches.
