To solve the problem, we need to find the area of the triangle, and then find 2/3 of that triangle.

The equation to find the area of a triangle is bh1/2 or base*height*1/2.

Now substitute the known values.

24*16*1/2

Solve

24*8

192.

Now, the easiest way to find 2/3 of a number is to divide that number by 3 and multiply the answer by 2.

192/3=64

64*2=128

Omar kept 128 square centimeters of the flag.

Hope this helps!

[tex] \frac{16 \times 24}{2} = \frac{384}{2} = 192[/tex]

192 is the total area of the triangle; since he kept 2/3 of the flag divide the area by three and times it by two:

[tex]192 \div 3 = 64 \times 2 = 128[/tex]

answer is 128cm^2
