3/8 = blank/24

Answer 1

First, we evaluate the amount that the portion has been multiplied by. We want to determine how many number 8's fit in to the number 24 because the bottom of the portion is 24.

The solution would be 3, because eight multiplied by 3 equals 24. Also because the bottom of the fraction has been multiplied by three, the top, known as the numerator, also needs to be multiplied by three. As a result, the top becomes 3 multiplied by 3, which equals 9. As a result, the portion is 9/24.

Explanation:

3/8=?/24
