Answer:

30.7%, 0.3, or 4/13

Explanation:

The correct procedure for this problem is:

  • The number of men that passed the test and the number of men should be located as the numerator and denominator of the fractional number.
  • 12/39 is our fraction, which we can reduce to 4/13
  • We can change it to a percent and a decimal, which would be 30.7% and 0.3.
