Answer:


\boxed{0.2}

Explanation:

Convert
(12)/(60) to a decimal

Step 1. Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms.

Divide both numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (12)


(12)/(60) =(1)/(5)

Step 2. Convert the denominator to a power of 10

Multiply both numerator and denominator by 2.


(1)/(5) * (2)/(2) = (2)/(10)

Step 3. Divide the numerator by the denominator

Dividing by 10 moves the decimal point one place to the left.


(2)/(10) = \boxed{0.2}
