Sixteen twenty-fourths simplifies to two-thirds. This is done by dividing both the numerator (16) and the denominator (24) by their greatest common divisor, which is 8. Thus, 16/24 = (16 ÷ 8) / (24 ÷ 8) = 2/3.

To find out how many twenty-fourths are in five-sixths, first convert five-sixths to twenty-fourths. Since (6) times (4) equals (24), multiply both the numerator and denominator of five-sixths by (4): [ \frac{5 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{20}{24}. ] Thus, five-sixths is equal to twenty twenty-fourths.
20/24 = 5/6
