Answer:

32

Explanation:

Alright, so think of the "what number" as x in this case. (Or any number/symbol you choose.)

So our simple equation looks something like this:


24= x *(3)/(4)

So, to find out what the "what number" would be we'd flip the fraction around/find the reciprocal and multiply 24 by it. That gives us "x" or the number we're missing.

So:
24 * (4)/(3) = x

Doing the simple math we get:


24 * (4)/(3) = 32.

32 is your answer.

Hope this helps and have a nice day! Sorry I'm not great at explaining it!
