ANSWER: 7 Over 12 EndFraction

EXPLAINATION:
To find the fraction of the bouquet that is pink roses, we need to subtract the number of white roses from the total number of roses (12) and then express it as a fraction.

Number of pink roses = Total number of roses - Number of white roses
Number of pink roses = 12 - 5 = 7

Therefore, there are 7 pink roses in the bouquet.

The fraction of the bouquet that is pink roses is:

StartFraction 7 Over 12 EndFraction

So, the correct answer is StartFraction 7 Over 12 EndFraction.
