To find the total number of students in the class, we need to determine the number of students represented by one-third (1/3) and then calculate the entire class size. We know that one-third of the students are 24.

To find out how many students are represented by one-third, we can use the concept of fractions. Since 1/3 represents 24 students, we can set up a proportion to solve for the entire class size.

Let's denote the total number of students in the class as x. The setup is as follows:

1/3 = 24/x

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply.

1x = 3 * 24
x = 72

Therefore, there are 72 students in the class.
