Let's interpret the information given:

  • 4 feet or taller ⇒ the person can be 4 feet or above 4 feet

Let's set 'x' as the hypothetical height of a person

Therefore the inequality should be x ≥ 4

we put x as greater than 4 since the person must be taller than 4

feet to ride the roller coaster

⇒ we also put the '_' under the inequality to signify that the person

can equal 4 feet in height and still be eligible to ride the roller

coaster

Hope that helps!
