Word problems in mathematics are questions that involve crucial understanding and mathematics application to solve real-life cases.

From the given parameters,

  • 4 multiplied by a certain number = 48

Let us assume that we use (a) to represent a certain number.

Then, we have:

  • 4(a) = 48

Now, we can divide both sides of the above expression by 4
