In order to qualify for a role in a play, an actor must be taller than 64 inches but shorter than 68 inches. The inequality 64 < x < 68, where x represents height, can be used to represent the height range. Which is another way of writing the inequality?

The inequality 64 < x < 68 means x is greater than 64 and less than 68 at the same time. This is written as x > 64 and x < 68, which is choice A. Using “or” would allow values that satisfy only one condition, including heights outside the required range.
