To find out how many chocolates are left after eating \( \frac{1}{3} \) of the 24 chocolates, we first calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \) of 24.
\[
\frac{1}{3} \times 24 = \frac{24}{3} = 8
\]
So, you eat 8 chocolates. To find out how many chocolates are left in the box, we subtract the number of chocolates eaten from the total number of chocolates:
\[
24 - 8 = 16
\]
Therefore, there are **16 chocolates left**.
\[
\frac{1}{3} \times 24 = \frac{24}{3} = 8
\]
