Answer:

The number of counts depends on the number of bars.

So there will be

24 counts in 6 bars

12 counts in 3 bars

48 counts in 12 bars

24 counts in 8 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

One bar values 4 counts.

There are = 24 counts/ 4counts = 6 bars

There are = 12 counts/ 4counts = 3 bars

There are = 48 counts/ 4counts = 12 bars

There are = 32 counts/ 4counts = 8 bars

So there will be

24 counts in 6 bars

12 counts in 3 bars

48 counts in 12 bars

24 counts in 8 bars

This is called unitary method.

We have 1 bar and 4 counts

So we will multiply 4 counts with the number of bars to get the total number of counts.

For example 6 bars will have 6 * 4= 24 counts.

This can also be solved by using ratios.

On one side we have the bars and on the other the counts

bars counts

1 4

x 24

Cross Multiplying

x*4= 1*24

or

x= 24/4= 6 bars

So we can get all the answers in the same way.
