Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 12 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means adding 12 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 12 = 12
Step 2: 12 + 12 = 24
Step 3: 24 + 12 = 36
Step 4: 36 + 12 = 48
Step 5: 48 + 12 = 60
Step 6: 60 + 12 = 72
Step 7: 72 + 12 = 84
Step 8: 84 + 12 = 96

So, 12*8 = 96
