Answer:
2/3 of 24 is 16/24
5/8 of 24 is 15/24
Step-by-step explanation:
if you multiply across 2/3 by 8/8 it equal to 16/24
if you multiply across 5/8 by 3/3 it equal to 15/24
Answer:
16/24 and 15/24
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the denominator in 2/3 to be 24 we multiply by 8 since 3 * 8 = 24, since we multiplied the denominator by 8 we must multiply the numerator by 8 as well to keep things equal, therefore 2 * 8 = 16, and we arrive at 16/24.
Likewise for 5/8, to get the denominator 8 to be 24, we multiply by 3, multiplying the numerator by 3 to keep things equal will result in 15/24.
