You must be at least 48 inches tall to ride an amusement park ride, and your little sister is 30 inches tall. How many inches/must she grow before she may ride the ride?
You need no more than 3,000 calories in a day. You consumed 840 calories at breakfast and 1,150 calories at lunch. How many calories c can you eat for dinner?
A children's ride at an amusement park has a rule that a person must be shorter than 4 feet tall to ride it. Create an inequality that shows the height, x, in feet, a person must be to go on this ride.
To find out how many inches your little sister must grow before she may ride the amusement park ride, you can subtract her current height from the minimum required height.
Minimum height required: 48 inches
Little sister's height: 30 inches
To calculate the difference, you can subtract 30 from 48:
48 - 30 = 18 inches
Therefore, your sister needs to grow 18 inches to be able to ride the amusement park ride.
To determine how many calories you can eat for dinner, you can subtract the calories consumed at breakfast and lunch from the daily limit of 3,000 calories.
Daily calorie limit: 3,000 calories
Calories consumed at breakfast: 840 calories
Calories consumed at lunch: 1,150 calories
To calculate the remaining calories, you can subtract the calories consumed from the daily limit:
3,000 - 840 - 1,150 = 1,010 calories
Therefore, you can consume 1,010 calories for dinner.
18 inches is the answer to the first question because you must be 48 but you are only 30 now, you must grow 18 (48-30)
1,010 is the answer to the second question, 840+1,150=1990 but you can only eat 3,000-1,990 now which is 1,010
