Answer: (2) /3

Explanation:

#1 Way: Solve by a proportion

Let x be the unknown number

8/12=x/3

Cross-multiply

12x=24

x=2

Ans: (2)/3

----------------------------------------------------------

#2 Way: Look at the product between numbers

Given

8/12=?/3

From this, we can see the difference (quotient) between the known value 3 and 12 is 4, meaning 12÷3=4.
