Answer: One third

Step-by-step explanation: If you blow up a third of the balloons then you've blown 4 up because 12 divided by 3 is 4. Then you add the 5 balloons your friend blew up leaving you with 9 blown-up balloons in total. 9 blown-up balloons out of 12 is 2 thirds of the balloons leaving you with only one-third left to blow up.
