You can turn 12/8 into 1 and 4/8, which is the same as 1½. Now add that back to the 12 you had before to get your answer:
13½

Ignore the 12 and just look at the 12/8. Divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5 So add 1.5 and 12 and you get 13.5. Just one step at a time!

First take it to an improper fraction:
12 12/8 = 27/2
Then take it back to a proper and you get 13 1/2 :D
