Answer:

  x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply by 1500 mL.

  $\displaystyle\frac{12\text{ mL}}{250\text{ mL}}=\frac{x\text{ mL}}{1500\text{ mL}}\\\\\frac{12\text{ mL}}{250\text{ mL}}\cdot1500\text{ mL}=\frac{x\text{ mL}}{1500\text{ mL}}\cdot1500\text{ mL}\\\\12\text{ mL}\cdot\frac{1500}{250}=x\text{ mL}\\\\72\text{ mL}=x\text{ mL}\quad\Rightarrow\quad\boxed{x=72}$
