Answer:

24 :)

Explanation:

2 / 3 x 36 = ?

First of all, note that 36 is the same as 36/1 since 36 divided by 1 is 36. Therefore, start by setting up the problem like this:

36 / 1 x 2 / 3

Multiply the numerators together (36 x 2 = 72) and multiply the denominators together (1 x 3 = 3) and make it into one fraction like so:

72 / 3

The greatest common factor of 72 and 3 is 3. Minimize the fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by its greatest common factor to get:

24 / 1

Convert the improper fraction above to a whole number to get the answer:

24

Hope this helps :)
