The total number of cookies in the jar is 12 + 8 + 4 = 24.
The probability of selecting a chocolate chip cookie is the number of chocolate chip cookies divided by the total number of cookies.
Probability = 12/24 = 0.5
Therefore, the probability in decimal form that the cookie Jace selected was a chocolate chip cookie is 0.5.
