Let's define the following variable:

r = number of rabbits Miranda has.

2r = number of rabbits Ramon has (Ramon has twice as many rabbits as Miranda)

4r = number of rabbits Carla has (Carla has 4 times as many rabbits as Miranda)

If Ramon has 6 rabbits, how many rabbits does Carla have? We have the equation:

4 x (6 ÷ 2) = number of rabbits Carla has.

4 x 3 = 12

Carla has 12 rabbits.
