Since Chloe collected 4 times as much as her friend, who collected 1/6 a bag, you will have to multiply 4 by 1/6 to find how much Chloe collected.
To multiply fractions, you multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators. Then you put the product you got from multiplying the numerators over the product you got from multiplying the denominators. Remember that 4 is the same as 4/1. Simplify the product if needed.:
Chloe collected 2/3 of a bag.

Step-by-step explanation:
I chose to set up the problem as a matrix to solve here.
(Another way to do this would be to isolate one variable in one of the equations, substitute it into the other equation, solve for that, and then plug it back in to get the final variable.)
My work is in the attachment. Lmk if you have any questions.
