• A. $\frac{12}{17}$
• B. $\frac{17}{12}$
• C. $\frac{5}{17}$
• D. $\frac{17}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{12}{17}$

Total number of parts = 17
Fractional parts = 12

$\text{Fraction}=\frac{\text{Fractional part}}{\text{Total number of parts}}$
$=\frac{12}{17}$

$\text{Therefore, 12 parts out 17 parts is}\frac{12}{17}.$
