The company sells 16 tons of steel in 4 months.
Given that
A steel company sells 48 tons of steel each year.
We have to determine
At this rate, how many tons of steel does the company sell in 4 months?
According to the question
Let the number of tons of steel sells in 4 months be x.
A steel company sells 48 tons of steel each year.
In the 1 year, there are 12 months.
Then,
The number of tons of steel sold in 4 months is,
[tex]\rm \dfrac{Total \ number \ of \ tons \ sells \ in \ 1 \ year}{Number \ of \ steel \ sell \ in \ 4 \months} = \dfrac{Number \ of months \ in \ 1 \ year}{Number \ of \ months}\\\\ \dfrac{48}{x}=\dfrac{12}{4}\\\\x = \dfrac{48 \times 4}{12}\\\\x = 4 \times 4\\\\x=16[/tex]
Hence, the company sells 16 tons of steel in 4 months.
