To find the number of inches per foot from the equation \( 4y = 48x \), you can start by simplifying the equation.
1. Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
\[
y = \frac{48}{4}x
\]
2. Simplifying this gives us:
\[
y = 12x
\]
This means that for every 1 foot (represented by \( x \)), there are 12 inches (represented by \( y \)).
Thus, there are **12 inches per foot**.
