The value of y is 12.



Given in the question, the denominator of a fraction is 4 more that its numerator.

Also given in the question that y is the numerator of the given fraction.

therefore, denominator = y + 4.


step 1 -

according to the question that, value of the fraction was 3/4.

so..

➡️ y/ y+4 = 3/4

➡️ 4 (y) = 3 ( y + 4)

➡️ 4y = 3y + 12

➡️ y = 12.


final answer :


the at least value of y is 12!
