Answer: there are 48 students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the total number of students in the class

1 - 1/3 = 2/3

1/4 * 2/3 = 2/12 = 1/6

1/3x + 1/6x + 24 = x

2/6x + 1/6x + 24 = x

3/6x + 24 = x

1/2x + 24 = x

24 = x - 1/2x

24 = 1/2x

24 * 2 = x

x = 48

there are 48 students in the class
