The maximum height of a vehicle that can safely 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

Respuesta :

1 ft = 12 in....so 12 ft = (12 * 12) = 144 inches...and 12 ft 5 in = 149 inches

so the maximum height of a vehicle that can safely pass under a bridge is 149 inches.....therefore, a truck that measures 162 inches will not fit.

Answer:

The truck cannot pass safely under the bridge. The truck is 13 inches taller than the maximum height.
