Luca Chung · Answer 1

The answer is D. 48 + t

Step-by-step explanation:

A is wrong because you are adding to Jill's height

B is wrong because you are multiplying to her height

C is wrong because you are subtracting her age from her height and the question states she is taller than 48 inches

I think it is possible that there is missing information in this question as well because depending on how much taller Jill is, it could also be B.
