3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 of 12

"of" will be replaced by multiplication:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(8)*12 \\ =\text{ }(12)/(8) \end{gathered}

To the simplest form:


\begin{gathered} 4\text{ is common to both the numerator and denominator} \\ (12)/(4)=\text{ 3} \\ (8)/(4)=\text{ 2} \\ (12)/(8)=\text{ 3/2} \end{gathered}
