the answer would be A because if she ate 4 times more then all you have to do is multiply r by four

Answer:

A. 4r = v

Explanation:

the amount of salad Reagan ate is r.

If Olivia ate 4 times as much salad as Reagan, then she ate r amount multiplied by 4:

4r

Thus, the equation than can be used to describe the amount of salad for Olivia is:

4r = v

This is because this equation tells us that 4 times the amount of salad Reagan ate (4r) is equal to what Olivia ate (v)
