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 x < 43 represent?

Answer 1

x<43=aisha is less than 43 inches tall. hope this helps :D

Answer 2

Answer: Aisha is less than 43 inches tall right now.

Explanation:

Let x be the present age of Aisha,

And, she grows 5 inches during the next year,

⇒ Her age in next year = x + 5

Aisha needs to be at least 48 inches tall to ride,

Thus, for riding next year,

x + 5 ≤ 48

But, According to the question,

Next year Aisha will still not be tall enough to ride.

⇒ x + 5 < 48

⇒ x < 48 - 5

⇒ x < 43

⇒ Her present age is less than 43 years.
