Answer:

24 beach toys

Explanation:

We don't know how many beach toys Theo has, but we know that 6 of his friends each got 4 toys. The equation could be set up as x/6 = y, where x is equal to the total amount of toys Theo had, and y is equal to the amount of toys each friend received. We know that y = 4, so now you could say x/6 = 4, and now using opposite operations, 6 × 4 = 24, hence Theo had 24 toys.

Hope this helps!!
