Answer:

$24=4k$

$k=6$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember that "Times as great as" indicates multiplication.

Therefore, "4 times as great as" can be expressed as following:

$4k$

So, the statement "24 is 4 times as great as" indicates that 24 is equal to $4k$ .

Knowing this, you can write the following equation:

$24=4k$

In order to solve for "k", you can divide both sides of the equation by 4. Then, you get the following result:

$\frac{24}{4}=\frac{4k}{4}\\\\k=6$
