Question
There are 48 inches in 4 feet, which is represented by the equation 4y=48x
. Determine the number of inches per foot.

Answer 1

To determine the number of inches per foot from the equation \(4y = 48x\), we can simplify it.

First, let's isolate \(y\) in the equation \(4y = 48x\):

1. Divide both sides by 4:
\[
y = 12x
\]

This equation \(y = 12x\) implies that for every 1 foot (x = 1), there are 12 inches (y = 12).

So, there are **12 inches per foot**.
