8 can go into 24 3 times, right? 8 + 8 = 16, then + 8 = 24. So one 8 over three 8s is the same as 8/24 and 1/3.

If that doesn't help, you could also work it out just by dividing both parts of the fraction by the same thing, in this case, 8. 8 divided by 8 = 1, and 24 divided by 8 = 3.

1/3 is the simplest because you can't reduce it farther than that.
