Ariel scored 96 marks on the test

Marks of Ariel = 96

Her friend Ali scored 5/12 of her score :

Marks of Ali = 5/12 of marks of Ariel

Marks of Ali = 5/12 of 96


\begin{gathered} (5)/(12)\text{ of 96=}(5)/(12)*96 \\ (5)/(12)\text{ of 96}=(5)/(1)*8 \\ (5)/(12)\text{ of 96}=40 \end{gathered}

5/12 of 96 = 40

Marks of Ali = 5/12 of 96

Marks of Ali = 40

Answer : Marks of Ali = 40
