Explanation:

Step 1: Determine what fraction of the entire circle 30 degrees is

So, in an entire circle we know it is made up of 360 degrees. We are given an angle that consists of only 30 of those degrees. We can just do a simple division step to figure out the fraction that 30 degrees makes up. Doing 30/360 we can simplify both the numerator and the denominator by 30 which would leave us with 1/12. That is our final answer.

Answer:
1/12
