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

To determine the number of inches per foot, we need to solve the equation 4y=48x for y, which represents the number of feet.

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:
y = 12x

This equation tells us that there are 12 inches in every foot.
