Answer:

12

Explanation:

Given that :

Point X on number line 1 from 0= 2/3

Point Y on number line 2 from 0 = same distance as point X on number line

Point Y has a denominator of 8 ; the numerator is thus;°

Let denominator = d ; Fraction becomes 8/d

Thus `

Point X on 1 = point Y

2/3 = 8/ d

2d = 3 * 8

2d = 24

d = 12
