Answer:
18
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 12 and 2 by 3 to get the "easier to work with" fraction
[tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{36}{3}[/tex]
Now, multiply two until you get 36
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36
It takes 18 times to get to 36.
That means the answer is 18.
