2/9w = 24
We need to solve for w

First, to eliminate the fraction, let's multiply both sides by 9:
(2/9w) * 9 = 24*9
2w = 216

Now divide both sides by 2:
(2w)/2 = 216/2
w = 108

Let's recheck our answer:
2/9 w = 2/9 * 108 = 216/9 = 24
Our answer has been approved.

So 2/9w = 24 for w = 108

Hope this helps! :)
