Math is hard! So we as students, we need to play the smart game with Math in order to find the easiest way to solve the problems. What do I mean? Well as you can see they gave us Fraction which won't be easy! So we will transform the fractions into decimals. So let's get started.
Then a scale of 1/4. Transformed into decimal = Then a scale of 0.25 So instead of using the fraction 1/4, I used its decimal 0.25
So if:
48 feet ......> 12 inches x feet ........> 0.25 inches
Cross multiply
12 * x = 0.25 * 48
12x = 12 Divide both sides by 12 12x/12 = 12/12
x = 1
The correct answer is option D, 1 foot
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any question.
