Genesis Watson · Answer 1

Do 36 divided by 3 to get 12, then do 12 plus 12 to get 24. 24 is 2/3 of 36, so 24 apples.

Kendall Burgess · Answer 2

First, you set out the equation:

36/1 * 2/3

Next, multiply the equations together:

72/3

Then, you simplify the answer by dividing the denominator by the numerator:

72:3=24

Toby has 24 apples.
