Answer:

First we need to find 1/3 of 24. When you see "of" replace it with "×".


1/3 of 24 =

1/3 × 24 =

24/ 3 = 8


So 8 stamps are animals. Now we find 3/4 of 8 to find out how many have birds.


3/4 of 8 =

3/4 × 8 =

24/4 = 6


6 have birds

Explanation:

24/3 = 8 stamps with pictures of animals, 8 x 3/4 = 6 stamps with birds on them. If it helps 8 has a denominator of 1 so you just multiply the top and the bottom of the fractions. 8x3=24 and you divide that by 4x1
