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

1 answer

There are 12 inches per foot.

We can see this by dividing both sides of the equation 4y = 48x by 4:

y = 12x

This means that for every value of x (representing feet), there is a corresponding value of y (representing inches) that is 12 times greater. So, there are 12 inches in one foot.
