To multiply 3/8 times 12, you can multiply the numerators (3) and denominators (8):
(3/8) * 12 = (3 * 12)/(8 * 1) = 36/8
To simplify the result, you can divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4:
36/8 = (36/4) / (8/4) = 9/2
To convert 9/2 to a mixed number, you divide the numerator (9) by the denominator (2):
9 / 2 = 4 remainder 1
So, the answer in mixed number form is 4 1/2.
(3/8) * 12 = (3 * 12)/(8 * 1) = 36/8
