So,

We can write this as an equation.

x * 4 = 8 * 12
4x = 8(12)

Distribute.
4x = 96

Divide both sides by 4.
x = 24

Check.
24 * 4 = 8 * 12
96 = 96 This checks.

The product of twenty-four and four is equal to the product of eight and twelve.

Let us say that this blank is x

So:


\sf{x *4=8* 12}

Simplyfying that:


\sf{4x=96}

Dividing 4 on both sides:


\sf{x=24}

So this blank would be
\boxed{\sf{24}}
