Question

An amusement park ride requires that people must be more than 42 inches tall to ride. Let h represent height in inches.

Which inequality models this situation?









A.

h < 42 and h may be a negative number








B.

h < 42 and h must be a positive number








C.

h > 42 and h may be a negative number








D.

h > 42 and h must be a positive number

Answer 1

B because it's telling you that they have to be taller than 42 inches and the more than sign (<) is telling you that 42 must be larger than the variable h (height) and it must be a positive number because any number bigger than 42 obviously cannot be negative. :)
