You simply have to subtract to find how much is left. To do that, you need to have common denominators. So, let's just convert everything into improper fractions:
[tex]24 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{97}{4} [/tex]
[tex] 1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
Now, let's multiply the second one by 2 to get a common denominator:
[tex] \frac{3}{2}* \frac{2}{2} = \frac{6}{4} [/tex]
Now, let's subtract:
[tex] \frac{97}{4}- \frac{6}{4} = \frac{91}{4} [/tex]
91 goes into 4 22 and 3/4 times. Also written as:
[tex]22 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
That's your answer!
