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?

Height of the truck =m 162 inches Height of the bridge under which vehicles pass = 12 feet 5 inches = (12 * 12) + 5 inches = 144 + 5 inches = 149 inches We arrived at the above deduction from the fact that 1 feet is equal to 12 inches. Now Difference in height of the truck and the bridge is = 162 - 149 inches = 13 inches So the truck is 13 inches taller than the maximum height of the bridge. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope it helps you
