To find the ratio of the area of Rectangle A to Rectangle B, we need to divide the area of Rectangle A by the area of Rectangle B.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = base * height.
For Rectangle A, the base is 12 and the height is 4, so the area is 12 * 4 = 48.
For Rectangle B, the base is 12 and the height is 8, so the area is 12 * 8 = 96.
Therefore, the ratio of the area of Rectangle A to Rectangle B is 48/96, which simplifies to 1/2.
