Hey there!

To solve this problem, first divide the numbers 240 and 6 . . .

240 divided by 6 = 40

Since Selma had 6 times as many coins as she did 4 months ago, the number of coins 4 months ago times the number 6 should equal 240.

40 x 6 = 240

The number 40 is correct.

Selma had 40 coins 4 months ago.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Over the course of 4 months she mutiplied the initial amount 6 times. Reversing multiplication means we need to divide. Divide the amount of coins she has now by the amount of times she multiplied them and you get 40.
