Given: Numerator of the fraction is 24.

To find: Denominator of the fraction so that the fraction obtained is equivalent to 4/7.

Answer:

Let the denominator be x.

24/x = 4/7

24 = 4/7x

4/7x = 24

4x = 24*7

4x = 168

x = 168/4

x = 42

Therefore the fraction is 24/42.

Proof: 4/7*6/6 = 24/42 (Equivalent fraction)
