Two third's divided by one over twenty four .. If we're dividing we used to reciprocal the divisor and change the operation into multiplication and it will be.. two third's times twenty four over one 2 * 24 = 48 3 * 1 = 3 48/3 = 16

Thanks for using words to explain what you are doing. It makes it easier to understand the solution, especially for someone who couldn't do it.

First of all make the denominator same of the two fractions,2/3*8/8=16/24. we have to add 16 times 1/24 to get 16/24. 1/24+1/24+1/24+1/4........1/24=16/24=2/3

Let the no. of 1 24 \frac{1}{24} 's in 2 3 \frac{2}{3} be x.

Now, x × 1 24 = 2 3 x = 2 3 × 24 x = 16 x\times \frac{1}{24} = \frac{2}{3} \implies x=\frac{2}{3}\times 24 \implies x=\boxed{16}

(1/24)x=(2/3)(8/8) ----> (1/24)x=16/24 ----> x=(16/24)/(1/24) -----> x=(16/24)24 -----> x=16

Let x be the number of 1/24's in 2/3. Then x * 1/24=2/3. x=16.

2/3 divided by 1/24 = 16

2/3 divided by 1/24 or 2/3 multiplied by 24/1 (reciprocal) therefore 2/3 * 24/1= 16

(2/3)/1/24 =(2/3)24 =16

2/3 divided by 1/24 = 16
