I'll do a similar but different problem for you.

One minute is what fraction of one hour?

\(\displaystyle 60 \, minute \, = \, 1 \, hour\)

\(\displaystyle 1 \, minute \, = \, \frac{60}{60} \, minute \, = \, \frac{1}{60} \, hour\)

One second is what fraction of a whole minute?

There are 60 seconds in a whole minute, so the ratio is one out of 60: 1/60.

One second is 1/60th of one minute.

----------------

One month is what fraction of a whole year?

There are 12 months in a whole year, so the ratio is one out of 12: 1/12.

One month is 1/12th of one year.

----------------

One quarter is what fraction of a whole dollar?

There are 4 quarters in a whole dollar, so the ratio is one out of 4: 1/4.

One quarter is 1/4th of one dollar.
