-5/12 = -0.41666667 which is 0.41(6)
(6) means repeating
The correct option would be B because a fraction is dividing the numerator by the denominator.
If you divide 5 by 12 you get -0.4166666 and the 6’s keep repeating. It is negative because a negative divided by a positive results in a negative.
It can’t be A or D because the 416 is not repeating, only the 6 is repeating.

Therefore option B is correct.

(If this doesn’t make sense please comment and I can explain further there)
