Answer:12 2/4

Explanation:

First of all that eqation is improper. So lets make that proper. To do that you just count by five till you get close to the number. 5,10,15,20 im close so lets stay there. So then it would be 4 1/5. Then you have to multiple that by 12.

And your awnser would be 50/4

then you need to make it propper.

12 2/4
