Answer:

4a

Explanation:

Since a is equal to the number of apples and we want to multiply that by four, we can condense the equation from 4*a to 4a because a is a variable, and you can squeeze a number that is multiplied by a variable together. You ALWAYS put the number before the letter, so instead of getting the answer a4, the correct answer should be 4a.

\huge\boxed{\boxed{Hello\:there!}}

If a = the number of apples, then four times as many apples = 4 times the number of apples (a)

Remember, 4 times some number means we multiply 4 by that number.

So, we have a apples; if we have 4 times as many apples, then we have 4a apples.
