Explanation:

24 ÷ 3:4

= 24 / 3 / 4

Basics

a / b / c = a / b / c / 1

....1 is normally invisible since a number

divided by 1 is itself. i wrote 1 down to show the reciprocal property.

a/b/c/1 = a/b × 1/c = a/bc ...Flip the number you're dividing with.

24/3/4 = 1/24 × 3/4 = 3 / 96 = 3 × 1 / 3 × 32 ...cancel the 3s'

= 1 / 32.
