(I don't know what are the answer choices, but I'm sure this should be one of the choices:)

Answer:

The product of 12 multiplied with a fraction less than 1 will be less than 12 itself.

Explanation:

This is true because if you multiply 12 by (for example) 1/2, then your answer is going to be 6 since 12x1=12 itself, and 12x0=0. So that's why, if it's less than 1, then the product is going to be less than 12 itself.

Hence, one of the answer choices can be something like:

The product will be less than 12 itself
