To find out how many practice drills the math team did in February, we need to divide the total hours spent practicing by the duration of each drill.
1. **Total hours practiced**: 24 hours
2. **Duration of each practice drill**: \( \frac{1}{6} \) hour
To calculate the number of practice drills:
\[
\text{Number of drills} = \frac{\text{Total hours practiced}}{\text{Duration of each drill}} = \frac{24 \text{ hours}}{\frac{1}{6} \text{ hour per drill}}
\]
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
\[
\text{Number of drills} = 24 \times 6 = 144
\]
So, the math team did **144 practice drills** in February.
The correct answer is **B: 144**.
