There are 48 inches in 4 feet, which is represented by the equation 4y = 48x Determine the number of inches per foot. (1 point) inches

Answer 1

To determine the number of inches per foot, we need to analyze the equation \(4y = 48x\).

In this equation,

• \(y\) represents the number of inches,
• \(x\) represents the number of feet.

Since we are specifically interested in how many inches there are in one foot, we can rewrite the equation like this:

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

2. Now, if we want to find the number of inches for 1 foot (where \(x = 1\)): \[ y = 12 \times 1 = 12 \]

Thus, there are 12 inches in 1 foot.
