Using the rule of BEDMAS, we would attempt to solve the exponents first.
Then, since multiplication and division go from left to right, we'd just divide and multiply normally. (Since there is an odd number of negative signs in the question, our answer then must be a negative.
-12 / (2)^2 * 3 = -12 / 4 * 3 = -3 * 3 = -9
