$D e c i m a l = 0.4167$
Percent = 41.67%

#### Explanation:

$\frac{5}{12}$ simply means 5 divided by 12.
So $\frac{5}{12} = 0.4167$

If you are not given a calculator to find the answer, then use long division.

To get percentage, you need to multiply the decimal answer by 100%:

(5/12)*100%=41.67 %
