Here we have to write an equation for the sentence given.
Given, 4 times as many as 4 pencils is P.
To find 4 times as many as 4 pencils we have to multiply 4 by 4.
So we can write the equation as,
[tex] (4)(4) = P [/tex]
[tex] 16 = P [/tex]
[tex] P = 16 [/tex]
So we have got the required equation. The equation is [tex] P = 16 [/tex]
