What number do you divide by 12 to get 9

Work backwards. 12*9=108

check: 108/12=9

Well I don't know. Let's figure it out together.

You said (a number) divided by 12 gives you 9.

A fraction is the easiest way to show division, so

you can write this equation:

(number) / 12 = 9

Now you can multiply each side of the equation by 12.

When you do that, you have ...

number = 9 x 12

number = 108.

Now you know how to find it. That's even better than just

having the answer.
