Answer:

8

Explanation:

You can do this like an equivalent fraction.

What fraction with denominator 12 equals 2/3?

To change the denominator 3 into a 12, you multiply 3 by 4.

Multiply 2 by 4 also.

2/3 = 8/12

x = 8

You can also solve this as an equation.

2/3 = x/12

Multiply both sides by 12.

12 * 2/3 = x/12 * 12

24/3 = x

x = 8
