| ① | Multiply $12$ by $ \dfrac{i}{2} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 12i }{ 2 } $. Step 1: Write $ 12 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 12 \cdot \frac{i}{2} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{12}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{i}{2} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 12 \cdot i }{ 1 \cdot 2 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 12i }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$ |
