Write an inequality for each sentence. Then solve the inequality.

Nine more than a number b is greater than negative three.

You must be at least 48 inches tall to ride an amusement park and your little sister is 39 inches tall. How many inches in must she grow before she may ride the ride?​

The inequality sentence is 48>39
Your sister needs to grow 9 inches before she can ride. This is because 48 - 39 = 9

Hope this helps!!

Answer:

9 inches

Explanation:

you have to be at least 48 inches so the shortest person that can ride it is 48 and she is 39 so you minus the 39 from 48 and you will get the inches she needs to grow
