How to get 24 with only using numbers 8,8,3,3?

[Alexia13579]

how can you get number 24 only by using numers 8,8,3,3 once?
you can use only ( ) - +, fractions

I flick channels when the numbers game comes on in Countdown

Right then I don't know.

I just gave the answer on the previous page.

8 over 3 is 2 and 2 thirds. Take that away to give one third. 8 over a third is 24.

I'll have a go at the numbers game and have very rarely managed to get it right or within a few numbers and am always very proud of myself when I do!

I`m just waiting for the day Rachel puts the letters up that spell `TART`

squarebear, you have used division.

[squarebear]

Where?

[squarebear]

Check my diagram. I used only minus, brackets and fractions, as requested.

You've divided 1/3 into 24. I think the question is too vague because if I see the brackets symbol I assume multiplication. ie 8(3)=24.

[squarebear]

Only as a fraction which was allowed.

[squarebear]

But yes you can in fact use multiply and divide. Just put it like yo udid for multiply and put it as a fraction for divide.
