A construction company needs to remove 24 tons of dirt from a construction site. They can remove 3/8 ton s of dirt each hour. How long will I it take to remove the dirt?

Let h be the number of hours it takes, we have:
3/8h = 24

Multiply each side by 8/3
h = 24(8)/3

24/3 = 8, so we have:
h = 8(8)
h = 64 hours
