The answer is 12 divided by 4.
We know this because when we multiply a number by something less than 1, then that “multiply” symbol really means “of”.
For example, in this problem when we multiply 1/4 and 12, we are really finding 1/4 of 12, or dividing 12 by 4.
Hope this helps and u get a good grade on your hw/test! :)
