Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of students surveyed

Add up frequencies of all classes: $5 + 10+7 + 6+12=40$.

Step2: Calculate fraction of students taking dance

The number of students taking dance is 6 and total surveyed is 40. So the fraction is $\frac{6}{40}=\frac{3}{20}$.

Answer:

$\frac{3}{20}$
