To solve that you're gonna have to multiply 2/3 by the reciprocal of 8/7 which is 7/8.

2/3 7/8 = (2 7)/(3 * 8)

14/24 reduces to 7/12 or .5833

2/3  /   8/7  flip the second fraction and multiply straight across

2/3  x  7/8   2 x 7 = 14

                   3 x 8 = 24 so you have   14/24  if you need to simplify, since both numerator and denominator are even so divide by 2. Which gives you  7/12

Hope this helps you :)
