Answer 1

A number divided by 12 is equal to 4 multiplied by the sum of that number and 3

Explanation:

If we suppose that "v" represents "a number," then the expression on the left is "a number divided by 12." That eliminates the first and last choices.

The expression on the right is the product of 4 and a sum, eliminating the third choice and confirming that the second choice is the correct one.
