(1)/(4) =(y)/(12) what is y?

Question

`(1)/(4) =(y)/(12)`
what is y?

Answer 1

y=3

find what gets 4 to equal 12 then multiply that same factor by the numerator

(some like that)

Answer 2

Y=3 because 3/12 divided by 3 is 1/4. You would do 3 divided by 3 which is 1 then 12 divided by 3 which is 4 so therefore 1/4=3/13
