You can answer this question in numerous ways but one simple way is by multiplying fractions.
<span>2/3 of 24 is also 2/3 of 24/1 </span>
<span>To get the answer, you must multiply 2/3 by 24/1 </span>
<span>To do this, you multiply the numerator (the top number) by the other numerator. That is, 2 x 24 . The answer is 48. </span>
<span>Then, multiply the denominators (the bottom numbers) by each other. That is, 3 x 1. The answer is 3. </span>
<span>The answer is 48/3. But you must continue simplifying. </span>
<span>What is 48 divided by 3? 16. </span>
<span>If you do not understand it that way, think of it in a simpler way. </span>
<span>Say there are 24 slices of pieces. </span>
<span>What is one third of those 24 slices? </span>
<span>24 divided by 3 = 8. </span>
<span>Now you want TWO thirds. So all you do is multiply 8 by 2. </span>
<span>That gives you 16.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-3 i think
Let the two numbers be x and y where x is greater than y.
So;
x + y = 3.1 ... (i)
2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)
This forms a set of simultaneous equations (i) and (ii)
Solving the simultaneous equations by elimination;
We multiply (i) by 2 and (ii) by 1 to get:
2x + 2y = 6.2 ... (i)
2x - 3y = 7 ... (ii)
Subtracting (i) - (ii) we get;
5y = -0.8
y = -0.8/5 = -0.16
x = 3.1 - -0.16 = 3.26
The numbers are 3.26 and -0.16.
