Hello!

your answer is: C. 12 4/25

you already have a 12, so that stays as a whole number. but you have a decimal of .16 as a remainder.

now to turn that into a fraction.

as for the decimals, you have 16/100 of a whole

to find the final answer, simplify the fraction by the greatest common factor.

16 can be divided by 4, and 100 can also be divided by 4

16/4 = 4

100/4 = 25

4/25 is the simplified fraction.

so 12 4/25 is the final answer

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
