Tough Test 7 - Answers

4. One twelfth
Sorry, Bumber Boy, but I have to disagree with you on this one (surprised?)... One twelfth (1/12) expressed as a decimal is .0833 (repeating 3's)... which is 8.33 percent... 8.5 percent is .085 which is 85/1000 which reduces to 17/200.

Please tell me I'm right because my kids are fixing to come in here and for the rest of the day, you know I'll be completely wrong about everything....
