Answer 1

`24=4k`

`k=6`

Explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that "Times as great as" indicates multiplication.

Therefore, "4 times as great as" can be expressed as following:

`4k`

So, the statement "24 is 4 times as great as" indicates that 24 is equal to
`4k`.

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

`24=4k`

In order to solve for "k", you can divide both sides of the equation by 4. Then, you get the following result:

`(24)/(4)=(4k)/(4)\\\\k=6`
