To calculate the product of a fraction and a whole number, you need to multiply the numerator (the top number) of the fraction by the whole number. In this case, the whole number is 3. So, the correct calculation would be:
4/13 * 3 = (4 * 3) / 13 = 12/13
Therefore, Lara's answer of 12/39 is incorrect.
