1. The problem states that 24 is 6 times as many as 4, which means 24 equals 6 multiplied by 4. 2. The formula for multiplication is: $$\text{Total} = \text{Number of groups} \times \text{Value in each group}$$ 3. Here, the number of groups is 6 and the value in each group is 4, so: $$24 = 6 \times 4$$ 4. To check, multiply 6 by 4: $$6 \times 4 = 24$$ 5. This confirms that 24 is indeed 6 times 4. 6. The bar model visually shows 6 groups of 4, adding up to 24. 7. So, when you see a bar model like this, you can understand it as repeated addition or multiplication. Final answer: $$24 = 6 \times 4$$
