The answer is 56! I used a double number line! You have to get the unit rate first! Unit means 1, you have to get from 12 to 1! I did 12 divided by 12, and got 1! Whatever I do to the bottom I do to the top. So I divided 60 by 12 and got 5. Now we have to get to seven, so I multiplied 1 x 7 and got 7. Than I multiplied 5 times 7 and got 56! I hope I helped! :D
