To find out how many trips Fred needs to cycle a total of 24 kilometers, we first need to determine how far he cycles per trip.
Fred made 3 trips to cycle a total of 18 kilometers. Thus, the distance he cycles per trip can be calculated by dividing the total distance by the number of trips.
\[
\text{Distance per trip} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Number of trips}} = \frac{18 \text{ km}}{3 \text{ trips}} = 6 \text{ km per trip}
\]
Now, we want to find out how many trips he needs to make to cycle 24 kilometers. We can use the distance per trip to find this:
\[
\text{Number of trips required} = \frac{\text{Total distance desired}}{\text{Distance per trip}} = \frac{24 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ km per trip}} = 4 \text{ trips}
\]
Therefore, Fred will have to make **4 trips** to cycle a total of 24 kilometers.
