Let's break down the given equation step-by-step:

1. Identify the components of the equation:

The equation given is:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{8} \cdot 2 + 4 = 12 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the first term:

Compute the fraction multiplication first:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{8} \cdot 2 = 0.25 \][/tex]

3. Add the second term:

Now add the calculated term to the second term in the equation:
[tex]\[ 0.25 + 4 = 4.25 \][/tex]

4. Compare the result to the given value:

We now need to compare the result with the right side of the original equation:
[tex]\[ 4.25 \neq 12 \][/tex]

Thus, we have determined that:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{8} \cdot 2 + 4 = 4.25 \][/tex]
This result, 4.25, does not match the given equation’s right-hand side, which was 12. Hence, the original equation [tex]$\frac{1}{8} \cdot 2 + 4 = 12$[/tex] is incorrect. The correct evaluation leads to 4.25.
