Answer:

16 kids

Explanation:

Okay, so first, write it down as a ratio.

2:3= 2 is the people who will get in and 3 is the total number of people.

Now, we don't know how many people will get in, but we do know how many people are there in total (24 total).

What times 3 equals 24? Or what is 24 divided by 3?

24 / 3= 8

Great! We got our quotient!

Now do 2 x 8 to get 16!

16= the number of kids that will see the movie!
