4/12=y/9 what does y equal?

Answer 1

3/9:

i think this is the answer.

4/12 simplified is 1/3

3/9 is 1/3 of y/9

Answer 2

y=3

Explanation:

4/12 can be simplified to 1/3 because 4x3=12

Then we have 1/3=y/9

To get y by its self multiple y/9 by 9 to get:

9(1/3)=y

Only multiply the numerator by 1 so you get 9/3

3 goes into 9 3 times so

Y=3

Hope it helped :)
