To find the result of \( 4 \div \frac{8}{12} \), you can first convert the division by a fraction into multiplication by the reciprocal of that fraction.

So, we have:
\[
4 \div \frac{8}{12} = 4 \times \frac{12}{8}
\]

Next, simplify \( \frac{12}{8} \):
\[
\frac{12}{8} = \frac{3}{2}
\]

Now, substitute this back into the equation:
\[
4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6
\]

Thus, the result of \( 4 \div \frac{8}{12} \) is \( 6 \).
