Understand the problem

66:3:?=24 -6\cdot6:-3:?=24

2

Step-by-step solution

Let's write the exercise in the following form:

6×63:?=24 \frac{-6\times6}{-3}:?=24

We'll factor the 6 in the numerator into a multiplication exercise:

3×2×63:?=24 \frac{-3\times2\times6}{-3}:?=24

We'll cancel out the minus 3 found in the numerator and denominator of the fraction and get:

12:?=24 12:?=24

We'll multiply the question mark:

12=24×? 12=24\times?

We'll divide by 24:

1224=? \frac{12}{24}=?

We'll factor 24 into a multiplication exercise:

1212×2=? \frac{12}{12\times2}=\text{?}

We'll cancel out the 12 in the numerator and denominator of the fraction:

12=? \frac{1}{2}=\text{?}

Final Answer

12 \frac{1}{2}
