Question

The maximum height of a vehicle that can pass under a bridge is 12 feet 5 inches. A truck measures 162 inches in height. Which best explains whether or not the truck can pass safely under the bridge?

Answer 1

The truck can not safely pass under the bridge

Explanation:

The maximum height in inches is 149in.

12 feet times 12 inches = 144 in

144 +5 = 149in

If the truck is 162 inches than it would not be safe for it to pass under the bridge.

I hope this helps you!
