It's not an illogical question. It's just that the answer is less than one.
The exact answer depends on the month as well as which year. 1/12 is not quite accurate because different months have different numbers of days.
If the month contains 31 days it contains 31/365 or roughly 0.085 of a year.
For 30 day months it's 0.082
For February it's 0.076
In a leap year the ratio is basically the same, except February which is 0.079.
And of course 1/12 is the average.

If the question was ; How many months are then in a year ?
ANS : 12 months, you must be knowing.
There are 2 possibilities :--
1 - Your teacher has made a mistake while saying it
OR
2 - Instead of teaching you maths she needs to learn maths.
Conclusion - Stop thinking and wasting time on such stupid questions.

Since you said it's a funny question, it's NOT a mistake. I don't know why you even bothered asking that question though.
By the way, it's 1/12.

1 year has 12 months, and a month is 1/12 of a year so 1 year has 0.083333333... ( it is impossible to ÷ it).
Did you get the picture? ( your teacher is not stupid, just look at the question from all perspectives)

Are you just saying that so that you don't want to feel stupid because really you don't know the answer to that question?
Well its quite simple, 12 months/year so 1 year/12 months or 0.083333333333333.... year/month!

YOU asked the same question so people WORLDWIDE can see how stupid you are... You must get straight A's. Where can I get an education like yours? Apologise to your teacher; maybe she can explain the question to you by the end of the year...
