0.1125 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let us assume that 48 inches of coil of steel weighs 10.800 kg.
We have to find the weight of 0.5 inch coil.
Step 2:
In this problem we assume that it is given in direct relationship.
Therefore, Problem becomes
48 inches weigh 10.8 kg
0.5 inches weigh X kg
(48 / 0.5) = ( 10.8 / X)
X = (10.8 × 0.5) / 48
X = 0.1125 kg
