When you ask a fraction question with "of" in it, that usually means you're looking to do multiplication. With fractions, you multiply numerators by each other and multiply denominators by each other. 24 is just another way of writing 24/1, so you need to multiply 2 * 24 (numerators) and 8 * 1 (denominators). Now you have 48/8 which can be further simplified by dividing 48 and 8 by their least common devisor. In this case, that's 8. Leaving you with 6/1 or just 6.
