TJ has solved 8 problems already.
To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we need to calculate 2/3 of the total number of problems.
Step 1: Multiply the total number of problems by 2/3:
12 x 2/3 = 8
TJ has solved 8 problems already.
To find out how many problems TJ has solved already, we need to find 2/3 of the total number of problems.
To do this, we can multiply the total number of problems (12) by the fraction 2/3:
12 * 2/3 = 24/3 = 8.
So, TJ has solved 8 problems already. Therefore, the correct answer is 8 problems.
