    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
