Answer 1

a)33.33333333% b) 25%

Explanation:

a) To find you're answer, you need to find the equivalent percentage to the fraction 4/12. SO you need to do 4 divided by 12, or you can find an equivalent fraction. 4/12=1/3 and 1/3 is 33.33333%

b) The total number of fish is 4+12=16. 4/16= 1/4 and 1/4 is 25%

I really hope this answer helps!
