Alright, Florida, you are not asking the question correctly. Taking 1/4 from 24, we end up with 23 3/4.
Taking away 1/4 of 24 is another thing. If we divide 24/4, we get 6, right?
24(1/4) = 24/4 = 6.
If it makes it simpler, draw a circle and divide it into fourths. If the whole circle is 24, then each fourth must be 6. 1/4 = 6. 2/4 = 1/2 = 12, etc.
