| \(\dfrac{5}{12}\) | B2 | F.T. ‘their fully completed table’. Penalise −1 for only words (5 out of 12) or only ratio (5:12). B1 for x/12 if x < 12. B1 for 5/y if y > 5. |

| \(\dfrac{5}{12} \times 60\) | M1 | F.T. ‘their 5/12’ (including e,g, ½, 50%, 50-50, evens) |
| = 25 | A1 | 25/60 OR 25:60 gets M1A0. 25 out of 60 gets M1A1. |
