To ride a certain amusement park attraction, a person must be 48 inches tall. How many feet tall must a person be to meet this requirement? (Enter a numeric value only.)

Rationale

A person must be 4 feet tall to meet the requirement.

To convert the height requirement from inches to feet, we can use the conversion factor that 1 foot equals 12 inches. Therefore, 48 inches divided by 12 equals 4 feet.

A (4) CORRECT

This choice accurately reflects the conversion of 48 inches to feet. Since 48 inches divided by 12 inches per foot equals 4 feet, this is the correct answer for the height requirement.

B (5) YOUR ANSWER

Choosing 5 feet would imply that the height requirement is 60 inches (5 feet x 12 inches/foot). This is incorrect, as the requirement is explicitly stated as 48 inches, not 60 inches.

C (6) YOUR ANSWER

Selecting 6 feet translates to 72 inches (6 feet x 12 inches/foot). This is also incorrect because it exceeds the height requirement of 48 inches, which is not necessary for the attraction.

D (3) YOUR ANSWER

Opting for 3 feet means a height of only 36 inches (3 feet x 12 inches/foot). This choice does not meet the requirement of 48 inches, making it an unsuitable answer.

Conclusion

The height requirement for the amusement park attraction is precisely 48 inches, which converts to 4 feet. This conversion highlights the importance of understanding unit measurements, as incorrect choices reflect miscalculations or misunderstandings of the height requirement. Only the choice of 4 feet correctly satisfies the condition to ride the attraction.
