Answer:

  y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct that ...

  1/4 = y/12 = 3/12

This means y = 3, the numerator of the fraction with 12 as the denominator.

__

In the original equation, you can get there by multiplying both sides of the equation by 12 (the denominator under y).

  12(1/4) = 12(y/12)

  12/4 = (12/12)y . . . . simplify a bit

  3 = y
