The equation 4y = 48x represents the relationship between inches and feet. In this equation, y represents the number of feet and x represents the number of inches.
To determine the number of inches per foot, we need to rearrange the equation to isolate x, since we want x/1 (inches per foot).
Dividing both sides of the equation by 48:
(4y)/48 = (48x)/48
y/12 = x/1
So, we have x/1 which means there are x inches per 1 foot. Therefore, the number of inches per foot is x.
there are 48 inches in 4 feet which is represented by the equation 4y=48x determine the number of inches per feet
