If one-fourth of the chocolates contain nuts, it means that three-fourths of the chocolates do not contain nuts. To determine the number of chocolates that do not contain nuts, we can calculate three-fourths of the total number of chocolates.

Given that there are 24 chocolates in total, we can calculate three-fourths of 24 by multiplying 24 by 3/4:

3/4 * 24 = 72/4 = 18.

Therefore, there are 18 chocolates that do not contain nuts.
