Jacob has 24 pieces of gum. He gives 3/4 of them away how many pieces of gum does he have remaining?

24 divided by 3/4 should be your answer.

The answer is 6.

You divide 24 by 4, which is 6 pieces of gum.

4/4 represents 100 percent of Jacob's gum. If Jacob gives away 3/4 of his gum, he will be left with 1/4 of the original amount. It's given that the original amount of pieces is 24. To find 1/4 of 24, divide 24 by 4.

24 / 4 = 6

Answer:

Jacob has 6 pieces of gum remaining.
