Answer 1

Neither one of those answer choices! It’s 12 3/25

Answer 2

Answer: $\dfrac{3}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that to convert a percent into fraction we divide it by 100.

Here , we need to express 12% as fraction.

So we divide it by 100, we get

$12\%=\dfrac{12}{100}$  (1)

Now , to simplify we divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF).

Since ,

$12=4\times3\\\\ 100=4\times25$

So , 4 is the GCF of 12 and 100.

Then divide the numerator and the denominator by 4 in (1)  , we get

$\dfrac{12\div4}{100\div}=\dfrac{3}{25}$

Hence, 12% expressed as $\dfrac{3}{25}$ .
