Hi Amy,
If you are asking what is the product of 4 and a number -12, then the answer would be:
4 (-12) = -48
However, if you are asking what is the product of 4 and a number to get the answer of -12, then the unknown number would be -3 because 4 (-3) = -12
Let me know which of the above two questions and corresponding math equations matches your question exactly.
