Question

An anthropologist studies a woman's femur that was uncovered in Madagascar. To estimate the woman's height, he uses the equation h=60+2.5fh=60+2.5fh, equals, 60, plus, 2, point, 5, f, where hhh represents height in centimeters and fff represents length of the femur in centimeters. Which inequality best represents the lengths of the femur that would suggest the woman had a height greater than 160\,\text{cm}160cm160, space, c, m?

Answer 1

Answer:

f > 40

Explanation:

h = 60+2.5f

h = height of Woman in centimeters.

f = length of the femur in centimeters.

woman had a height greater than 160

=> h > 160

=> 60+2.5f > 160

Subtracting 60 from both sides

=> 2.5g > 100

Dividing by 2.5 both sides

=> f > 40

lengths of the femur > 40 cm
