{13, 8, 12, 8, 12, 3}

3, 8, 8, 12, 12, 13

median — (8 + 12) : 2 = 20 : 2 = 10

\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\text{The word \underline{median} means the number in the CENTER (the \bf middle}\\\large\text{number).}\\\\\\\large\text{To find your median you have to put your numbers from least}\\\large\text{(smallest) to greatest (biggest).}


\large\text{Your data slot: \textsf{13, 8, 12, 8, 12, \& 3}}


\large\text{Conversion: \textsf{3, 8, 8, 12, 12, \& 13}}


\large\text{Finding your result: }\large\boxed{\rm{(8+12)/(2)}}\\\\\large\boxed{= \rm{(20)/(2)}}\\\\\\\large\boxed{= \rm{(20/2)/(2/2)}}\\\\\\\large\boxed{\rm{= (10)/(1)}}\\\\\\\large\boxed{= 10/ 1}\\\\\\\large\boxed{\rm{= 10}}


\huge\text{Therefore, your answer is: \boxed{\mathsf{10}}}\huge\checkmark


\huge\text{Good luck on your assignment \& enjoy your day!}
