Solution Steps

Step 1: Cross-multiply to solve for \( y \)

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate \( y \): \[ y = \frac{3}{9} \times 12 \]

Step 2: Simplify the fraction

Simplify \( \frac{3}{9} \) to \( \frac{1}{3} \): \[ y = \frac{1}{3} \times 12 \]

Step 3: Calculate the value of \( y \)

Multiply \( \frac{1}{3} \) by 12: \[ y = 4 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{y = 4}\)
