The product of a number and 12 is 108

1 answer

To find the number, we can set up the equation based on the information provided:

Let the unknown number be \( x \). According to the problem, the product of this number and 12 is 108. This can be expressed as:

\[ 12x = 108 \]

Now, to solve for \( x \), we can divide both sides of the equation by 12:

\[ x = \frac{108}{12} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ x = 9 \]

Therefore, the number is \( 9 \).
