To determine the distance Kevin walked each minute, we can use the expression that represents dividing the total distance by the total time.
In this case, Kevin walked three-fourths of a mile in 12 minutes, so we can express the distance walked each minute as:
\[
\text{Distance walked each minute} = \frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Total time}} = \frac{3/4 \text{ mile}}{12 \text{ minutes}}
\]
This means we need to divide three-fourths of a mile by 12 minutes, which corresponds to:
**Three-fourths divided by 12**
Therefore, the correct expression is:
**Three-fourths divided by 12.**
