I believe what the problem means is that the height of the child, if he/she grows in height, the mesurements are equal to 1 ft, 2 ft, 3 ft, 4 ft, etc only. and no decimals or fractions in between. it is also said that a human stops growing at the age of 20 naturally, hence with this increment, a child can grow incredibly very tall.
The length for the problem is 3
Answer:
- |t -(-5)| = 1.5
- [-6.5, -3.5] = [minimum, maximum]
Step-by-step explanation:
The magnitude of the difference between the temperature (t) and -5 will be 1.5 at the limits:
|t -(-5)| = 1.5
This is equivalent to two equations:
In each case, the equation is solved by subtracting 5 from both sides:
- t = -6.5 . . . . minimum allowed temperature
- t = -3.5 . . . . maximum allowed temperature
