1/4 of whatever, is
whatever\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\qquad thus \\ \quad \\ \cfrac{1}{4}\ of \ 12\implies \cfrac{1}{4}\cdot 12

Okay, I guess you can solve this when I tell you this:

Divide 12 by 4 to find your answer because to find these kinds of answer, you need to divide the number of the denominator by the number of eggs or what ever it is.
