Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Write down the given ratio and Racheal's age.

    Ratio of Thompson's age to Racheal's age = 2 : 3
    Racheal's age = 24 years

  2. Set up a proportion using the ratio and Racheal's age.

    Let Thompson's age be T.
    T / 24 = 2 / 3

  3. Solve for Thompson's age (T).

    Multiply both sides by 24:
    T = (2 / 3) × 24
    T = 2 × (24 / 3)
    T = 2 × 8
    T = 16 years

    Thompson is 16 years old.
