To find the fraction more of the herd that Dr. Suzuki examined compared to Dr. Kato, we'll first need to clarify the fractions they examined.

Let's assume:

  • Dr. Suzuki examined a fraction \( S = \frac{5}{12} \) of the herd.
  • Dr. Kato examined a fraction \( K = \frac{!}{12} \). However, it seems there was a typo in your input since "!" does not represent a numeric value.

Assuming you meant Dr. Kato examined some other fraction of the herd, please provide that value. For now, let's say \( K \) is another fraction, and we can use a placeholder \( x \) for the fraction Dr. Kato examined.

The difference in the fractions can be calculated as:

\[ S - K = \frac{5}{12} - x \]

Now, we would like to express this difference as a fraction of Dr. Kato’s examination \( K \):

\[ \frac{S - K}{K} = \frac{\frac{5}{12} - x}{x} \]

Once you give a specific fraction for Dr. Kato (instead of the placeholder \( x \)), I can help you simplify this expression and find the result.

Please provide the correct fraction for Dr. Kato’s examination.
