There are 5 eggs which remained. In a fraction, the eggs which are not cracked is expressed as 5/12. Converting it to decimals, the answer is 0.4166667. Since the answer only requires 2 decimal places, the number has to be rounded off to the hundredths place. Since 6 is more than 5, the value of the hundredths place is added by 1. Hence the final answer is 0.42.
