Question

How does knowing 1/8 of 24 help you find three eights of 24 draw a picture to explain your thinking

Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Divide 24 into eight equal parts. Each part consists of 3, because 24 : 8 = 3.

Draw the diagram. The whole rectangle is 24 and one violet part is 3.

Knowing 1/8 of 24 you can easily count 3/8: take three such parts, each of 3, then three parts are 3 + 3 + 3 = 9 (the second diagram shows you 3/8).
