What is 3/3 of 24?

How to calculate 3/3 of 24?

1. Multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction: 24 × 3 = 72
2. Divide this result by denominator of the fraction: 72/3 = 24
3. Simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their GCD (3):
   • 72/3 = 24
   • 3/3 = 1
4. Which gives: 24/1

How does it work?

The principle behind finding a fraction of a number, such as 3/3 of 24, is rooted in the method of cross-multiplication.

Consider the following proportion: $\frac{3}{3}=\frac{x}{24}$ (where x represents 3/3 of 24)

1. Using the cross-multiplication method, multiply both numerators by their opposite denominators: $3\times 24=3x$
2. Which gives: $72=3x$
3. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x: $\frac{72}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}$
4. Which gives the result: $\frac{72}{3}=x$ (or $\frac{24}{1}=x$)

Thus, 3/3 of 24 is equal to 24/1 (or 24 in its decimal form).
