Answer: y = 24 x 1/6

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Marcos: $24

Yaneliz: 1/6 of the amount of money Marcos has

So, to write an expression we have to multiply the amount of money Marcos has (24) by 1/6.

Mathematically speaking

Y = 24 x 1/6

Where "y" is the amount of money Yaneliz has.

Solving:

24 x 1/6 = 4

Yaneliz has $4.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
