at a telethon a volunteer can take 48 calls over a 4 hour shift. At this rate how many calls can 12 volunteers take in a 4 hour shift?

Twelve volunteers making calls at the same rate, over the same time period,
would make twelve times as many calls as one volunteer.

48 * 12 = 576

Answer: 576 calls
