Answer 1

1/4 of 24 is 6

Explanation:

1/4 in decimal form is 0.25 or .25 and we know that he has 24 socks in total so we then multiply the decimal of the fraction with the total amount of socks...

1/4 = 0.25

0.25 x 24 = 6

shawn has 6 gray socks

Hope i could help!!!

Answer 2

The answer is 6 grey socks.

Explanation:

Set it up like a proportion:

`(1)/(4) = (x)/(24) \\`

Cross multiply:

24=4x

divide to isolate "x"

24/4= 6 socks
