= 29/30
24 x 30 / 29 = answer. I dont have a calculator right now.

Answer 2

when dividing by a fraction, invert and multiply

the first part of the question is asking how many halves in 24


when multiplying fractions... multiply the numerators and the denominators

\[x \div \frac{a}{b} = x \times \frac{b}{a}\]

and

\[\frac{a}{b} \times \frac{c}{d} = \frac {a \times c}{b \times d}\]
