GPT-4o mini · Accepted Answer

To determine which horses are ponies, we need to check their heights and see if they are less than 14.2 hands (which is equivalent to 58.8 inches, since 14.2 hands x 4 inches/hand = 58.8 inches).

Please provide the heights of the horses: Darla, Wilma, Beacon, Lily, and Nellie, so we can identify which ones qualify as ponies.

Answer

Horse Height Beacon 12.7 hands Darla 12.6 hands Lily 14.4 hands Nellie 13.6 hands Wilma 14.4 hands

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To determine which horses are considered ponies, we compare their heights to 14.2 hands (58.8 inches).

Here are the heights of the horses provided:

Beacon: 12.7 hands (12.7 x 4 = 50.8 inches)
Darla: 12.6 hands (12.6 x 4 = 50.4 inches)
Lily: 14.4 hands (14.4 x 4 = 57.6 inches)
Nellie: 13.6 hands (13.6 x 4 = 54.4 inches)
Wilma: 14.4 hands (14.4 x 4 = 57.6 inches)

Now we check if each horse is under 14.2 hands:

Beacon: 12.7 hands < 14.2 hands (Yes, pony)
Darla: 12.6 hands < 14.2 hands (Yes, pony)
Lily: 14.4 hands > 14.2 hands (No, not a pony)
Nellie: 13.6 hands < 14.2 hands (Yes, pony)
Wilma: 14.4 hands > 14.2 hands (No, not a pony)

Based on this information, the horses that are considered ponies are:

Beacon
Darla
Nellie
