1vw = 1/100th of whatever size it is.
So for 1200px, you would multiply the total by 1/100th or 8/100.  
To put that in decimal form, remember dividing by 100 
moves the decimal two to the left because there are two zeros in 100.

8/100 = 0.08

So..
1200 * 0.08  = 96
or
1000 * 0.08 = 80 
200 * 0.08 = 16

80 + 16 = 96

if seeing it from 1000 makes it easier.

Also, 
I believe that..
0.08em = 8% = 8vw
(correct me if I am wrong)
