See a solution process below:

Multiply each side of the equation by $color(red)(16)$ to solve for $g$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$color(red)(16) xx g/16 = color(red)(16) xx 6/4$

$cancel(color(red)(16)) xx g/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16))) = cancel(color(red)(16))4 xx 6/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))$

$g = 4 xx 6$

$g = 24$
