A sign next to a roller coaster at an amusement park says, “You must be at least 60 inches tall to ride.” Noah is happy to know that he is tall enough to ride.
Noah’s friend is 2 inches shorter than Noah. Can you tell if Noah’s friend is tall enough to go on the ride? Explain or show your reasoning.
if Noah is 60 inches tall (5ft) and noah's friend is 2 inches shorter than he is 58inches tall, so no he won't be able to. but Noah could be 61 inches, but his friend is still to short.
it depends, if Noah is taller than 60 by more than 2 inches his friend can ride but if he is exactly 60 inches then his friend would not be able to ride
