Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r be a multiplier.  Then 2r + 3r + 4r = 24, or

9r = 24, or r = 24/9 = 8/3

The three numbers are then (8/3)(2), (8/3)(3), (8/3)(4), and their sum is

(8/3)(2 + 3 + 4) = (8/3)(9) = 24.  But the problem tells us that!  Please check the wording of your question; something's not quite right there!
