Answer: 12

An easy way to find this is to divide the total by 9(denominator), giving you 6. You can then multiply this by 2(numerator) to get 12.

This helps split the number into sixths, and you use the numerator of the fraction to build the number you want from it.

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions
