Reagan is 3.5 inches shorter than Cassidy. If Reagan is 39 inches tall, which equation could you use to find Cassidy's height? (1 point)
Responses
39 - c = 3.5
39 - c = 3.5
3.5 - c = 39
3.5 - c = 39
39 - 3.5 = c
39 - 3.5 = c
c - 3.5 = 39
c - 3.5 = 39
The equation that could be used to find Cassidy's height is: 39 - 3.5 = c
To find Cassidy's height, we need to set up an equation using the information given. We know that Reagan is 3.5 inches shorter than Cassidy, and we are given Reagan's height which is 39 inches.
Let's use the equation: Reagan's height - Cassidy's height = 3.5 inches.
Since Reagan's height is 39 inches, we can substitute that into the equation: 39 - Cassidy's height = 3.5.
Thus, the correct equation would be 39 - c = 3.5, where c represents Cassidy's height.
