Answer:
1(1)/(2) , or 1.5

Step-by-step explanation: Step one is to reduce the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be reduced by a factor of four.

12 ÷4 = 3

8÷4=2

Yow now have simplified the improper fraction to
(3)/(2)

Now, you can turn the improper fraction into a mixed number. Start by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 3 divided by 2 is 1.5.

0.5 is equal to one half. Now rewrite 1.5 as a fraction, and you have your answer.
