Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

When multiplying a positive number with a negative number, the product will always be negative. First, let's solve the problem disregarding the negative sign.

  • [tex]\frac{1}{4} * 12[/tex]
  • [tex]\frac{12}{4}[/tex]
  • [tex]3[/tex]

Now that we know the product of 1/4 x 12 is 3, we can assume that the product of 1/4 x -12 is -3.

The answer is -3.
It is basically asking what 1/4 of -12 is.
1/4 is equal to .25.
So .25 x -12= -3 which is your answer.
