A.
24y = 4
B.
4y = 24
C.
4 + y = 24
D.
24 + y = 4

Answer 1

4y = 24

Explanation:

Given:

4 x Number of yellow balls = Number of white balls

Number of white balls = 24

Number of yellow balls = y

Computation:

4 x Number of yellow balls = Number of white balls

4 x y = 24

4y = 24

Number of yellow balls = y = 6 balls
