Answer 4

your spelling is non-standard. but assuming lest is least, and the question asks for an absolute value inequality:

|h-52.5| will give the distance away from the ideal height.
you do not want a distance of more than 0.5 inches (too low), so you want
| h - 52.5 |< 0.5

Answer 5

ok, sorry about the spelling. thanks phi
