Hi Jsksksjz,
So, as you know, there are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, in order to solve this problem you can take the 12 minutes as a numerator and 60 minutes in the denominator, okay. Therefore, that fraction is 12/60 or 1/5 of an hour.
1/5 of an hour is the simplest form to answer with. Best.
