Question

12 x 1/5= ? I got 12 1/5 is that correct?

Answer 1

Yes that is correct 
or in a mixed number it would be 61/5.

Answer 2

When you're multiplying any number times a fraction with a numerator of one, that number becomes the numerator. For example:

a x 1/b = a/b

So, in your case:

12 x 1/5 = 12/5
