8

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = x/12

First I set up my equation and I looked at my denominators which are 3 and 12. I multiplied 3 times 4 to get 12. Then I took my 2 in the numerator and multiplied it by 4 also and came up with 8. Whatever I do the the denominator I must do the same thing to the numerator.
