Answer 1

Hello!

Data:  

1 year = 12 months  

Solving:  

tons _________ months

48 --------------------- 12

x ----------------------- 4  

$\dfrac{48}{x} = \dfrac{12}{4}$

$12*x = 48*4$

$12x = 192$

$x = \dfrac{192}{12}$

$\boxed{\boxed{x = 16}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

Answer:

16 tons of steel in 4 months
