There are 48 inches in 4 feet which is represented by the equation 4y = 48x. Determine the number of inches per foot
To find the number of inches per foot, we need to solve for y in the equation 4y = 48x.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
y = 12x
This equation tells us that there are 12 inches in 1 foot. Therefore, the number of inches per foot is 12.
