A team played 24 games and won 2/3 of them. How many games did they win?

(2/3) * (24/1) = 48/3 = 16

(2/3)24 = 2 * 8 = 16

check
16/24 = 4/6 = 2/3

To find out how many games the team won, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of games they played.

Step 1: Calculate the number of games they won.
Since they won 2/3 of the total games, we can multiply the total number of games by 2/3:
Number of games won = (2/3) * 24

Step 2: Simplify the fraction.
To multiply a fraction by a whole number, we multiply the numerator (top number) by the whole number and keep the same denominator (bottom number):
Number of games won = (2/3) * 24 = (2 * 24) / 3 = 48/3 = 16

Therefore, the team won 16 games out of the 24 games they played.
