Answer:

[tex]b\leq 12[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula of a rectangle:

[tex]a=h*w[/tex]

a = area

h = height

w = width (or base length)

Replace the variables with the numbers given:

[tex]48=4*b[/tex]

Divide both sides by 4:

b = 12

Since 48 is the max, the number can only be equal to or lower than 12:

[tex]b\leq 12[/tex]
