Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 299. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 12. So, we're going to take the number 299 and add it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 299 = 299
Step 2: 299 + 299 = 598
Step 3: 598 + 299 = 897
Step 4: 897 + 299 = 1196
Step 5: 1196 + 299 = 1495
Step 6: 1495 + 299 = 1794
Step 7: 1794 + 299 = 2093
Step 8: 2093 + 299 = 2392
Step 9: 2392 + 299 = 2691
Step 10: 2691 + 299 = 2990
Step 11: 2990 + 299 = 3289
Step 12: 3289 + 299 = 3588

So, 299*12 = 3588
