Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 229. 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 229 and add it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 229 = 229
Step 2: 229 + 229 = 458
Step 3: 458 + 229 = 687
Step 4: 687 + 229 = 916
Step 5: 916 + 229 = 1145
Step 6: 1145 + 229 = 1374
Step 7: 1374 + 229 = 1603
Step 8: 1603 + 229 = 1832
Step 9: 1832 + 229 = 2061
Step 10: 2061 + 229 = 2290
Step 11: 2290 + 229 = 2519
Step 12: 2519 + 229 = 2748

So, 229*12 = 2748
