Anthropologists approximate the height of a primate by the size of its humerus (the bone from the elbow to the shoulder) using the equation

H = 1.2L + 27.8,

where L is the length of the humerus and H is the height, in inches, of the primate.

Answer:

26.83

Step-by-step explanation:

H=1.2L + 27.8

60=1.2x+27.8

minus 27.8 from both sides

32.2=1.2x

divide both sides by 1.2

x=26.83
