Question

Marsha notices that all of her siblings are more than 5 foot 2 inches tall but at most 6 foot 1 inch tall. Write an inequality or pair of inequalities to represent all possible values, in inches, for Marsha’s siblings heights. Graph this set of values on the number line.

Answer 1

Answer: 62 < x
`\leq` 73

Step-by-step explanation:

5 feet and 2 inches all in inches would be 62 (12 inches per foot, multiplied by five equals 60, add 2). 6 feet and 1 inch would be 73 inches (12 inches per foot, multiplied by six equals 72, add 1).

Since this inequality has words such as "more than" we have to use # < x. But since at most also applies, we have to use x
`\leq` #.

All her siblings are over 62 inches, so 62 < x. Remember the at most 73 inches, which would be 73
`\geq` x. We can conclude that the inequalities would be expressed as 62 < x
`\leq` 73.

Answer 2

first make everything inches so you have at least 62 inches and at most 73 inches, now create it.

Explanation:

62<x<=73
