The correct answers are:
(1) 2/3 of 18 is \(\boxed{12}\)
(2) 2/3 of 24 is \(\boxed{16}\)
Explanation:
(1) Simply translate "What is 2/3 of 18" mathematically as follows:
\(x = \frac{2}{3} * 18\)
Where,
x represents "what" in the sentence
= represents "is."
represents "of."
Now solve to get the answer:
\(x = \frac{2}{3} * 18
\\
x = 2 * 6
\\
\boxed{x=12}\)
Hence the correct answer is: 2/3 of 18 is 12.
(2) Simply translate "What is 2/3 of 24" mathematically as follows:
\(x = \frac{2}{3} * 24\)
Where,
x represents "what" in the sentence
= represents "is."
represents "of."
Now solve to get the answer:
\(x = \frac{2}{3} * 24
\\
x = 2 * 8
\\
\boxed{x=16}\)
Hence the correct answer is: 2/3 of 24 is 16.
