Answer 1

Concept Used:-

For converting a fraction number into percentage, divide the numerator of the fraction by its denominator and multiply the result with 100.

Explanation:-

Given, fraction number is 5/12. Multiply this number with 100 to find out its percentage.

Let its percentage is P%. Thus,

\(⇒ P\% =\dfrac{5}{12}\times100 \\ ⇒ P\% =\dfrac{5}{3}\times25 \\ ⇒ P\% =\dfrac{125}{3}\\ ⇒ P\% =41.67\%\)

So, the 5/12 in percentage form is 41.67%.

Hence, the correct option is 3.
