Answer: y = 9


Step-by-step explanation: All you have to do is simplify the equation to find Y


(6)/(8) =
(y)/(12)
first simplify the side WITHOUT the variable by dividing 6 by 8

0.75 =
(y)/(12)
now simplify the side WITH the variable by multiplying y 12. Do so to both sides

0.75 (12) = y

y = 9

Hope that helps!
