Answer:

  • error: 1/12·6 should be 6/12, not 1/72
  • correct result: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The error in the work can be found by comparing the work shown to the work you know is correct.

The correct work would be ...

  [tex]\frac{8}{12}\times 6=8\times\frac{1}{12}\times6=8\times\frac{6}{12}=\frac{48}{12}=4\qquad\text{correct calculation}[/tex]

The error in the given work is that 1/12×6 was shown as 1/72, rather than 6/12. That is, the product of the fraction and the integer was incorrectly calculated by multiplying the denominator instead of the numerator by the integer.
