    Hello!

    Here are two ways to solve this problem. Way 1:

    Convert the fraction to a decimal by dividing its numerator by its denominator.

    2 : 3 = 0.6666666667

    Then, multiply the decimal by the total amount of books.

    0.6666666667 * 12 = 8

    Way 2:

    Divide twelve by the denominator of the fraction, and then multiply it my the numerator.

    12 : 3 = 4

    12 * 2 = 8

    Thus, 8 of the 12 books are science fiction.
