Answer:

7/12

Explanation:

If the probability of winning a race is 5/12, the odds in favor of winning the race is 7/12.

Probability of winning a race: 5/12 or a 5 out of 12 chance.

12 - 5 = 7

Numerator = 7

The denominator would stay 12.

Denominator = 12

Therefore, the odds of winning the race is 7/12.
